CLIENT CARE

"Everything starts with the Client. Think first about the Client's business, the Client's needs and the Client's opportunities." – Frank Glionna Sr., Founder Universal Logistics, 1949

Whether you have been a Universal Logistics client for many years or are a first-time client, you get all the benefits of Client Care, our term for Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

Check our track record and you will find that our management team was committed to building strong client relationships – with a unique combination of people, processes and technology – long before CRM became a well established business process.

In fact, our commitment to delivering unmatched client service, introduced by our founder, Frank Glionna Sr. and reaffirmed by his successor, Frank Glionna Jr., is based on the belief that "everything starts with the Client. Think first about the Client's business, the Client's needs and the Client's opportunities."

Today, CRM empowers our clients by providing timely, integrated and actionable information. More specifically, this means our clients receive:

• Direct one-to-one consulting, combined with targeted communications
• Announcing tariff and duty rate changes that affect your specific commodities
