Why use PLA members ?

If your business deals with Perishable Goods and you are looking for a top-class logistics provider/freight forwarder, you need reliability, specialist expertise and personal attention. Whether it's a one-off shipment or a special cargo, large or small, local or the other side of the world, it's too valuable to be left to chance.

PLA delivers the best of independent Perishable Goods Logistics Specialists. See what you get when you choose a PLA member:

Professional agents
To become a PLA member, a freight forwarder must demonstrate its quality, experience and financial strength. Less than one-third of all applications are accepted. Very strict criteria matching processes are in place for ensuring all members are absolutely capable in meeting the requirements expected of such a specialized niche network.

Worldwide coverage
Any network can claim “global coverage” but how many can deliver? PLA is backed up by the WCA Family of more than 3404 member offices in 173 countries and more than 699 cities and ports .

Comprehensive insurance
PLA members have exclusive access to a suite of industry-leading insurance products including Marine Cargo coverage at special low rates as well as total E&O/Legal Liability coverage.

International teamwork
Meeting regularly with their fellow agents around the world at WCA Family’s networking forums to personally discuss their clients’ needs, members develop a business relationship and understanding that multinational integrators cannot offer.

Peace of mind
Transactions between any two PLA member offices are covered by a financial guarantee up to a total USD50,000, underwritten by the power of WCA Family, stronger than the resources of all other networks combined.

Full service
PLA members have the power to provide all the services a shipper needs, handling your shipment with the added bonus of local expertise to take care of any unusual requirements.

Technology
Members use a full suite of power tools provided by PLA including online track and trace and rate quotation systems.
