Tampa, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) - BlueGrace Logistics, one of the nation's fastest-growing and most progressive providers of transportation, logistics and technology to businesses throughout the United States, announced today that the company is now offering franchises in selected states nationwide as the next step in its strategic growth plan. The franchise is for a BlueGrace Logistics business providing freight and specialized transportation and shipping services to businesses and individuals. Franchisees may also be given the option of providing parcel transportation and shipping services as well as auditing services for transportation invoices.

"The BlueGrace brand is now firmly established as an industry leader, known for our focus on technology and customer service," said BlueGrace President and CEO Bobby Harris. "Our state-of-the-art custom transportation management system streamlines and simplifies the shipping process for our customers, has no fees or contracts for users and is extremely easy to use. It has been a major factor in our successful track record of consistent growth." Harris said the company, which currently provides its integrated total supply chain solution across all major modes of transportation to more than 2,500 customers across the nation, expects continued double-digit growth this year.

"With most forecasts for the franchise industry calling for growth in both the number of new franchises and the new jobs they will create, we feel that the time is right for this franchise offering," said Harris. "We see this as the next logical step in our aggressive strategic expansion plan, and our ability to expand our brand's presence into new markets."

He said that businesses will always need to ship their goods, no matter what shape the economy is in, and that should mean significant opportunities for companies like BlueGrace that specialize in providing freight services. "Our franchises offer an exceptionally quick start up at a reasonable cost. Because of our relationships with carriers around the world, there is no investment needed in transportation equipment or assets" said Harris. "We expect significant interest in this opportunity, especially as the economy continues to pick up."
