Prior to North Coast Logistics, Pat was V.P. Operations with the Unit Companies (AKA GATX Logistics) overseeing 1,000,000 SF of operations in six Ohio cities.  As Director of Operations for EXEL Logistics in Mechanicsburg, PA, she was responsible for 2,000,000 SF of highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art distribution facilities.

Key management personnel were recruited based on their dedication, loyalty and experience in the industry.

The following four principles are the foundation of North Coast Logisitcs' business philosophy:

Partnership 
  • Deliver the specific service the customer wants
  • Strive to continually improve and add value to their products
  • Respect the customer's knowledge of their own business
  • Blend that experience with our own to create a unique, effective team
Customer Service 
  • Service is the only product we sell  
  • Customer satisfaction is imperative
  • Quality is not a program, it is a way of life. It is creating the desire in every individual to be the best they can, every day. It is the thrill of continually achieving a goal, even if only a small one.  It is making every action count.
Empowerment 
  • Associate involvement and continual training are crucial.
  • Without associate participation and dedication, success will not be achieved.  
  • The "empowerment" principle cannot simply be taught.  It must become a way of life.
Ownership 
  • An entrepreneurial environment allows for innovative and creative thought processes
  • Ownership and dedication are critical components in the partnership process
  • Honesty and integrity are a matter of record and will never be compromised.
