Celebrating Cinco de Mayo Together
This Cinco de Mayo, we are taking a moment to celebrate more than the holiday. We are celebrating US. The team came together by sharing food rooted in culture and tradition. From homemade salsa and smoked brisket to favorite family recipes passed down through generations, everyone took the time to bring something to the table. Behind every strong team is a community of people who trust them.
That’s where you come in. Your partnership challenges us, inspires us and brings us together. So, we wanted to share that joy with you. Thank you for making us a team worth celebrating.
What an Incredible Day in Melissa! ❤️
LaCore was honored to sponsor and help run this year’s Local Special Olympics event, bringing together athletes, families, volunteers, and community members for a day filled with joy, determination, and unforgettable moments.
One of the highlights was cheering on Jovi, Jenifer Grace’s daughter, whose smile, confidence, and competitive spirit reminded us what this event is truly about. Watching athletes like Jovi celebrate their accomplishments, support one another, and shine on and off the field was inspiring to everyone in attendance.
At LaCore, we believe strong communities are built when we show up for one another. This day wasn’t about logistics, warehouses, or fulfillment — it was about people, inclusion, and celebrating every achievement, big and small.
A huge thank you to the athletes, families, coaches, volunteers, and supporters who made this event so special. We are grateful to be part of a community that embraces every individual and creates opportunities for everyone to succeed.
Congratulations to all of the athletes for reminding us that courage, determination, and heart are what true champions are made of. 🏅❤️
Here Are Three Trends We Are Watching Closely and What They Mean for You
Shipping Costs Are Still Rising
Fuel surcharges and labor increases continue to push rates up. However, regional carriers are becoming more competitive, offering cost-saving alternatives to national providers. We’re actively vetting them, so you don’t have to.
Labor Shortages Are Shifting Delivery Timelines
Fewer drivers and warehouse workers mean longer transit times in certain regions. The solution? Proactive routing and setting customer expectations earlier. LaCore Connect now tracks potential delays before they happen.
Tariffs and Customs Are Getting More Complex
If you ship across borders, new regulations are rolling out quietly. We are tracking these changes so your shipments don’t get held up unexpectedly.
