NORTHLAKE, IL, Jan. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 357 Hemp Logistics<\/u><\/a> (357), a trusted leader in global hemp transportation, has made two important moves to help cement its position as the dominant player in the hemp transport industry: 357 now includes complimentary hemp cargo insurance on all domestic and international hemp shipments; and 357 has appointed Jeremy Powers, a 20-year logistics industry serial entrepreneur and executive, as Strategic Advisor for the company.<\/p>\n

\n $50,000 free hemp cargo insurance\u00a0<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is imperative that the hemp industry recognizes transportation as an essential expense that can be extremely risky even though hemp is now legal,\u201d stated Kevin Schultz, 357 Hemp Logistics Co-founder and President. \u201cUnfortunately, many learn the hard way what can go wrong and that most cargo insurance policies do not cover hemp! Our specialized expertise in hemp logistics and attention to detail prevents the costly, and potentially traumatic, results that can occur when companies wing it on transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schultz added, \u201cWe leave nothing to chance, so we are the first in the industry to include, at no additional charge, up to $50,000 of declared value hemp cargo insurance on all hemp shipments. We go the extra mile to ensure that you can track your entire shipment 24\/7 from origin to arriving safely at its destination — on time and within budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Jeremy Powers Appointed Strategic Advisor<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome Jeremy to 357 as a Strategic Advisor to further increase the depth and breadth of our leadership team, and spearhead key strategies that will set us apart in the emerging hemp logistics industry,\u201d stated Brandon Goehl, 357 Chief Strategy Officer and Co-founder. \u201cOur team believes in disrupting the status quo by significantly raising the bar for transparency, performance and customer satisfaction, as well as providing features and services no other competitor offers. Jeremy has exemplified that perfectly in every company he has led. We plan to implement his robust logistics experience and network into our system and look forward to working with him to ensure 357 is the gold standard in the logistics industry.\u201d <\/p>\n

Powers\u2019 20 year logistics industry career spans positions ranging from freight operations, sales, marketing\/PR, and executive level management with a global freight forwarder. Powers has demonstrated a proven ability to open doors, establish new customers, and, most importantly, disrupt the status quo. He has built strong long-term customer loyalty with a broad range of clients from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies, venture capital firms, and everything in between.<\/p>\n

In 2014 Powers founded LGS Group, an independent logistics sales agency and consulting firm which focuses on addressing the needs of air cargo shippers and shippers of time-sensitive and high-value commodities, with a focus on commodities such as temperature-controlled food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics containing sensitive data. Using his experience, Powers helps clients navigate through complicated regulation often associated with these commodities such as FDA, USDA, TSA, and International Customs Clearance. In 2017 Powers co-founded Hangar A, a logistics technology company that has developed the most advanced digital air logistics platform on the market today. It is currently being used by some of the top air cargo shippers in the United States.<\/p>\n
