T-Mobile and TTS partnership endures many years, many miles.
For Steve Tyree, the key to success for T-Mobile is efficiently moving
thousands of products, thousands of miles each and every day. He should know.
As the national warehouse and logistics manager responsible for overseeing all
of T-Mobile’s distribution centers throughout the United States, Tyree has a
big job with lots of responsibility.
His role is to coach and oversee the logistics processes T-Mobile has in place
to effectively move thousands of products from manufacturing plants, through
their distribution facilities and on to end users. Their distribution
facilities include three main national warehouse centers and their many other
regional distribution facilities. The company is headquartered in Bellevue,
Washington.
Tyree knows his job is one he can’t do alone. In addition to a dependable staff
of managers overseeing the national and distributor warehouses, Tyree works
with Kent, Washington-based TTS agent, All Freight Solutions operated by Lonnie
and Linda Yates, and has worked with them for over 12 years.
“T-Mobile has been partnering with All Freight Solutions, Inc. for over 7
years,” said Tyree. “We pretty much have an exclusive relationship with them to
provide us with all our inbound and outbound transportation needs.”
He said the services include managing virtually all modes including full
truck, ocean and LTL. All Freight even handles parcel and air
transportation as those needs arise.
“Lonnie and his group have really done a great job for us over so many years,”
said Tyree. “We really see them as our partner in business. They are always
going the extra mile for us.”
Extra mile indeed. Tyree said one time when a stolen load full of T-Mobile
product was not located by authorities, a member of All Freight staff jumped
into action and on the trail. He flew down to a southern California border town
and recovered the load fully intact.
Tyree says his T-Mobile division does not handle the products most people
assume they do. “When most people think of T-Mobile they think of cellular
telephones,” he said. “Actually, our division doesn’t any handle any cell
phones or ancillary cell phone products.”
His T-Mobile division is primarily a provider of engineering products for the
cellular industry infrastructure. They supply products like cables, switches,
routers, and antennas. “Everything,” says Tyree “that is required for
transmitting a signal from voice to receiver.” He says any given T-Mobile
warehouse has over one thousand different products to track and move.
For Tyree, his job is a series of daily challenges that he loves to face and
overcome. In fact, he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I have the best job of
anyone,” say Tyree. “Some days I can’t believe I get paid for what I love to
do.”
