About Customer	Port City Logistics is a fast-growing logistics service provider in the Port of Savannah area. Since late 2019, the company has evolved into one of North America’s premier logistics service providers. The company initially operated with limited resources, with only five thousand square feet of warehouse space, six employees, and five pickup trucks. However, it has since grown massively and is dedicated to providing absolute transparency and around-the-clock service.
