A Strategic Convergence of Distinct
Capabilities
Over
two decades ago in 1986, in response to unmet market needs,
two astute transportation professionals created an
airfreight company that became the precursor to TTSI.
In 1989, TTSI officially began operations as a LTL
(less-than-truckload) service provider. In the early 1990s,
the company entered the truckload market and subsequently
established its drayage operation in the late 1990s. TTSIs
distinctive competence remains the development of customer
solutions that emphasize speed-to-market and dependable
service delivery, at a fair price. The TTSI value
proposition resonates with high-value electronic and apparel
customers who rely on global sourcing. The continued rapid
growth of international trade via container shipments makes
optimizing a firm’s supply chain more important than ever.
To address today’s market needs TTSI
continues to evolve. The LTL division has been sold and a
strategy implemented to secure a presence in all of the
deep-water ports within the United States. In 2006 TTSI
established a warehousing and distribution division and
expanded this part of its business in 2007 with the purchase
of Ernst Trucking and Warehousing to enhance its logistics
capability. TTSI currently provides drayage, truckload and
warehouse services in strategic locations around the nation.
TTSI is the industry resource uniquely
positioned for tomorrow’s challenges. TTSI’s ingenuity,
versatility, and technology enable it to meet and exceed any
new customer demands as an agile, “asset-light” Third Party
Logistics provider.
TTSI views diversity in management and
employee ranks as a critical and value-enhancing asset,
especially in today’s global market.
Cognizant of the global markets we serve, TTSI continues its
commitment to attract diverse employee resources. TTSI
recruits and hires the best talent regardless of race,
creed, or sexual orientation. Overall, more than seventy
percent (70%) of TTSI employees and contract workers are
ethnic minorities.
TTSI fully meets the requirements for
MBE status and received MBE certification via the Southern
California Minority Business Development Council (SCMBDC),
providing national certification. TTSI has also been
certified as a minority owned business by several state and
local organizations including the state of Virginia. In
addition, TTSI merged with W&H Systems and North American
Conveyor in May of 2007 to former Goods Movement Inc. This
led to a new capital sources to fund its aggressive growth
plan. The firm recruited a consortium of versatile and
diverse financial partners, that include publicly traded
Newstar Financial; Hedge Fund Silverpoint Capital; and CIFC.
