PLS Logistics Services, a provider of third party logistics solutions and freight brokerage services, opened a satellite office at 4631 Woodland Corporate Blvd. in Tampa, Florida. The firm expects to create 120 jobs during the next three years.

"PLS is excited to announce the opening of our new Tampa sales office," says Bob Janeda, PLS' Vice President. "We will be able to better serve our growing client base in the greater Tampa area and also capitalize on the population of young, talented professionals this region provides."

A majority of the jobs created by PLS in its Tampa office will be entry level sales positions, the company said. PLS is growing rapidly, and with the addition of the Tampa office, now has satellite offices in Jacksonville, Tampa, and Houston in addition to its corporate headquarters in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. Two more offices are planned to open in the first quarter of 2014 in Pittsburgh and Dallas.
