PGL & Women-Owned Excellence

Empowering Global Supply Chains Through Woman-Owned Excellence

At Perimeter Global Logistics (PGL), one of our greatest points of pride is being certified with the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). We’re a woman-owned and operated company, built on the foundations of integrity, innovation, and service excellence. Not only does PGL stand out in the global supply chain, but so does our leadership!

Investing in supplier diversity gives companies a measurable business advantage. According to Forbes, top supplier diversity programs generate 133% greater return on procurement-operations cost, adding roughly $3.6 million in value for every $1 million spent. Selecting a certified woman-owned logistics provider enhances operational performance while helping you meet key supplier diversity objectives.

About Lyn
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, we believe that world-class logistics is more than just moving freight; it’s about connecting people, enabling commerce, and empowering organizations to meet mission-critical goals. And at the very heart of PGL’s success is Merry Lyndell LaMothe, our Chief Executive Officer and Owner of the company. As a graduate in Fashion Merchandising from the University of Houston, Lyn served as an officer in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and was also crowned Ms. Baytown, TX. In 2010, she and her husband, William LaMothe, acquired 78% of PGL’s stock and set forth on a journey that has grown the company into a major player in the global supply chain, with operations spanning the world.

Why Customers Choose a WBENC-Certified Partner Like PGL
• Supplier Diversity Advantage
• Secure best-in-class logistics solutions
• Advances your supplier diversity and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) objectives.
• WBENC-certified woman-owned enterprise

Agility & Executive Access
As a privately held, woman-owned business, PGL offers direct access to leadership and faster decision-making than many large publicly held providers. Our entrepreneurial culture fosters bespoke logistics and supply-chain management solutions that align with your mission, timeline, and budget. PGL’s WBENC certification validates that the company is independently woman-owned, operated, and controlled. For customers who demand governance, operational integrity, and transparency, that assurance matters.

Competitive & Contracting Advantages
When your RFPs, bids, or contracts call for diversity participation or supplier-inclusion metrics, working with PGL provides measurable value. It enhances your contracting eligibility, clears diversity spend targets, and strengthens your competitive posture. When you work with PGL, you are partnering with a company that values family, faith, community, and advancement of women in leadership—while delivering world-class logistics and supply-chain performance.

A Partner You Can Trust
PGL combines the reach of a global logistics powerhouse with the agility and authenticity of a certified woman-owned enterprise. From our headquarters in Irving (Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex), we coordinate global freight forwarding, contract logistics, industry-specific supply-chain management, and more. We work across air freight, ocean freight, ground transport, and intermodal solutions. Through our PGL Connect technology platform, we deliver real-time visibility, automated alerts, document management, and end-to-end control.

In Conclusion
Under Lyn LaMothe’s leadership, PGL continues to redefine what partnership means—responsive, responsible, results-driven. We invite you to explore how our woman-owned legacy, combined with our global logistics expertise, can be the strategic advantage your business deserves.

PGL Recognized as the #1 World Leading Provider of AOG

PGL has been ranked #1 worldwide in aircraft on ground (AOG) global support and service!
PGL delivers a comprehensive suite of logistics services designed to streamline supply chains and ensure timely, reliable deliveries. Recently, PGL proved that we take this mission seriously, and, in so doing, we’ve been awarded with an accolade that we wanted to share with you!

The Aerospace Logistics Alliance (TALA) is a global network of certified logistics providers that specialize in aerospace supply chains. Working alongside TALA, we’ve, proudly delivered industry-leading services and quick response times. As an illustrious TALA partner, PGL represents the network’s U.S. presence, providing 24/7/365 support and ensuring that help is always within reach. Our shared mission is simple: minimize downtime, maximize efficiency, and keep fleets moving.

How we made #1
Our award-winning aerospace logistics solutions greatly minimize aircraft downtime for our clients. By delivering reliable, time-critical AOG responses to both clients and industry peers we’ve been extended this great honor. This appreciated alliance partner of ours is a highly respected solutions provider who demands only the very best — and PGL delivered time and time again!

Keeping aircraft freight airborne when it matters most is something our clients are very aware of. PGL is proud of each of you, as we’ve been recognized by The Aerospace Logistics Alliance (TALA) as the #1 provider of AOG Support & Service worldwide. Every single minute an aircraft is grounded, it can cost thousands of dollars in lost revenue, maintenance expenses, and disrupted operations. In fact, a single AOG event can cost between $10,000 and $150,000 per hour! By working quickly and precisely — the PGL way — the average $22,000 AOG incident saves our clients time and money, while providing priceless peace of mind. That’s why dependable, time-critical logistics are essential for the aviation industry!

Looking ahead
In 2024 alone, PGL’s Aerospace Branch managed nearly 22 thousand shipments, about 9,000 of which were AOG or HOTSHOT movements requiring your immediate coordination and constant active oversight. In 2025, we’ve already completed well over 16,000 shipments, making us well on our way to exceeding last year’s incredible accomplishments!

PGL Proudly Announces New Houston Warehouse

Perimeter Global Logistics (PGL) is proud to announce the opening of our latest Houston warehouse, and it’s going to be a busy one! Houston, America’s fourth-largest city, is a major logistics hub on the coast of the Gulf of America, making it a highly strategic location that can handle client freight quickly. The vision for this warehouse is to provide 100,000 sq ft of secure 24/7 warehousing to power faster, more reliable supply chain offerings.

As the global demand for logistics grows, businesses are on the lookout for quick shipping solutions that can handle their needs. PGL has recognized that this uncertainty and strain can cause constant client consternation. The Houston area was a great place to develop a solution that can address fast freight handling, while also adding predictability and cost controls to help give peace of mind to those we serve.

This ISO-certified powerhouse has been established within about half an hour or less to nearby rail lines, interstate commerce lanes, coastal piers, and the George Bush International Airport, making this an ideal offering in our tool kit that clients will appreciate. Staffed by our highly dedicated PGL staff of forklift drivers, operations managers, and freight specialists, this latest addition is a win for the area — and for our clients! Now, no matter if the freight arrives by rail, air, ocean, or ground, the Houston hub can handle it. Shipments and containers can now be moved into distribution channels without routing delays or any unnecessary handoffs. These cost-saving contributions will be able to not only help save time but also ensure precision with every move. Every hour impacts expenditures, so being able to react to our trade partner’s needs and demands expeditiously will be a boon to PGL’s capabilities throughout the region.

PGL’s Purpose-Driven Precision Pushes Productivity
Our new Houston facility’s physical and operational design boasts:

  • 13 dock doors enable fluid inbound and outbound scheduling
  • Dual ramp access prevents trailer congestion
  • Secured perimeter and 24/7 monitoring protect freight integrity
  • High-capacity forklifts (12k & 6k lifts) allow handling of standard and oversized cargo
  • Climate-controlled zones maintain product quality where required
  • 27 miles to Bayport Container Yard
  • 22 miles to Barbours Cut Terminal
  • 23 miles to IAH Airport

The new Houston warehouse is so much more than just passive storage; it’s been keenly engineered to support continuous movement. The Houston hub features strong capabilities that support real supply chain demands our clients are in need of.

This warehouse can handle and support the entire lifecycle of freight, including:

  • Ocean import and export handling
  • Domestic transportation services (FTL, LTL, air freight, and Next Flight Out)
  • Local pickup and delivery across the Greater Houston region
  • Container devanning and building for international shipments
  • Contract logistics, pick-and-pack, kitting, and value-added projects

This warehouse provides customers with one partner in PGL. Through these new capabilities, client requirements will no longer necessitate multiple brokers, carriers, warehouses, or distributors. This makes PGL in Houston a one-stop shop that can manage the flow of goods from inbound arrival to final mile execution. Houston is a global industrial power, and these high-stakes times demand clear precision, short uptimes, and critical controls. Among the many industries served are the aerospace industry, energy producers, industrial manufacturing, retail distribution, and trade show logistics serving Houston’s many high-end convention centers. Our Houston warehouse is backed by PGL’s strengths through our service-minded operating culture.

As a woman-owned and veteran-driven organization, PGL brings discipline, integrity, and responsiveness to every move we take part in. Our Houston team was built around our well-established proactive communications and real-time problem-solving, because in logistics, speed only matters if you can trust it!

Supply Chain Industry Insights – October 2025

Industry Insights

October 2025

By PGL

Welcome to the PGL Industry Insights report for October 2025

The national benchmark diesel price has fallen for a third straight week, down more than thirteen cents per gallon over that span. The decline marks one of the sharpest 3 week drops of 2025.

U.S. weekly rail volumes continue to fall compared to last year, led by declines in coal, grain, and intermodal shipments. The slowdown reflects broader freight softness across the economy as consumer demand levels out.

Despite a dip in truckload demand, tender rejection rates and spot rates remain high or are trending upwards, indicating that trucking capacity is leaving the market faster than demand is declining.

With the proposed peace plan for the conflict in Gaza, carriers are closely monitoring conditions in the Red Sea. Attacks on shipping since early 2024 have severely limited passage through the Suez Canal, and the end of fighting could mean a return for this shipping route.

That’s it for this month’s report. Subscribe to our channel to make sure you get the latest supply chain insights. As always, PGL will be here to keep you informed 24/7/365.

Supply Chain Industry Insights – September 2025

Industry Insights

September 2025

By PGL

Welcome to the PGL Industry Insights report for September 2025

Retail diesel prices have mostly leveled off after weeks of decline. While current pump prices are stable, futures markets suggest a possible upward move ahead. Stronger demand, tightening supply, and potential refinery constraints could push prices higher if conditions persist.

Nearly 70 containers fell off a ship docked at the Port of Long Beach on September 9th. No injuries were reported. Operations at the terminal were temporarily paused to manage the spill.

Shipping rates from China to the U.S. West Coast have plunged, down by about 68% since their peak in June. This marks the lowest rates seen since late 2023, driven by a pullback in U.S. orders, tariff uncertainty, and softer consumer demand.

Unionized delivery van drivers with Canada Post have launched partial strike action as contract negotiations remain stalled. Some services are being delayed or reduced during the industrial action.

Supply Chain Industry Insights – August 2025

Industry Insights

August 2025

By PGL

Welcome to the PGL Industry Insights report for August 2025

As of mid-August, the national diesel benchmark fell to just over $3.75 per gallon, marking its third consecutive weekly decline. The most recent decline was the largest single-week decrease since June. Futures markets have followed suit, reflecting softer oil outlook amid peace talk hopes and strong dollar.

Late on August 18th, The bulk freighter W-Sapphire experienced a major explosion in its hold while departing Baltimore Harbor. No injuries were reported, and the vessel remains afloat under Coast Guard supervision. A wide safety perimeter has been established amid ongoing investigations.

DHL Express Canada has restored full parcel delivery services following a nearly three-week lockout and strike. The resolution came after union members ratified a four-year labor agreement, securing a wage increase of nearly 16%, enhanced benefits, and stronger worker protections—particularly against automation.

Ocean container rates—especially across trans-Pacific routes—are falling as frontloaded demand eases and ocean capacity grows. Container volumes remain elevated, but softer reshuffling of shipments is pushing freight rates downward.

Supply Chain Industry Insights – July 2025

Industry Insights

July 2025

By PGL

The diesel benchmark price surged sharply in July, hitting its highest point in nearly a year at around $3.78 per gallon. This spike marks the largest weekly increase since early 2024, fueled by tight inventories and new regulations on shipping emissions

Union workers with SMART–TD Local 457 are conducting a strike vote amid accusations that Canadian Pacific Kansas City took advantage of service issues to reduce jobs and hours. If the poll favors action, a strike could disrupt rail freight drastically.

Ocean container rates from Asia to U.S. coasts continue to decline for the fifth straight week. West Coast rates dropped by about a quarter, while East Coast rates eased slightly, reflecting weaker demand and growing carrier capacity.

Through the first half of 2025, U.S. rail freight—both carload and intermodal—has climbed nearly 4% year-over-year. Weekly volumes remain steady, driven by growth in motor vehicles, metals, and coal.

That’s it for this month’s report. Staying informed is more important than ever.
