Three New Transportation Agencies Added to Total Transportation Services
National Network
(June 30, 2006 - Dallas) Total Transportation Services LLC (TTS) announced the
addition of three new transportation agencies to its expanding national network
of transportation and logistics service providers. The Dallas-based
transportation company began operations in January and continues it meteoric
growth with the continued addition of successful transportation operations
under the TTS umbrella.
The new agencies are located in San Diego, Addison, Texas and Cumming, Georgia.
They each have begun operations with TTS in June with a successful transition
to the TTS system delivering a range of transportation and logistics services.
Bobbie Ray is the founder and president of the Cumming, Georgia-based agency.
Ray started the intermodal and specialty trucking company over 14 years ago
with her husband. The operation focuses on retail industries including handling
both container and intermodal freight from shipper to distribution centers. Ray
says their success is the result of “outside the box thinking” to create
transportation solutions that meet their customers’ goals.
“We joined Total Transportation Services because we were looking for a true
partner that would support us in the same way that we support the success of
our customers,” said Ray. “A big part of our decision was the incredible
information technology system, process and support that TTS has in place.”
The Addison, Texas-based agency is Positive Transportation and is operated by
Ty Hatton and Tom Whaley. This two-year old operation already is a strong
industry presence with an extensive truckload business, an 11,000 strong
carrier base and a significant customer base. Their company specializes in
truck load, LTL and refrigerated freight for various industry sectors including
food, plastics, rail car manufacturing and event rental.
“We were attracted to Total Transportation Services because of the technology
platform they employ including the web-based shipment management, billing
processing and the total efficiency of the system,” said Hatton. “We also liked
the flexibility and agility of the operational structure of TTS which allows us
to service our customers incredibly well.”
The third new addition to the Total Transportation Services network is the San
Diego-based agency headed by president and founder Toby Hawley. The 3 year old
agency is a full-truck transportation brokerage for a variety of industries
throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Their services include freight
management, border transfers, port and warehouse shipment. They handle a
variety of freight including refrigerated, food and manufactured products.
Toby Hawley said it was Total Transportation Services’ overwhelming technology
that convinced him to join TTS. “TTS offers a state of the art technology
system that provides us significant efficiencies and flexibility that we just
didn’t have,” said Hawley. “TTS also has a unique operational structure that
allows us to continue to be a very customer-responsive organization.”
“The addition of these three superb transportation agencies underscores our
desire to develop a strong transportation services network of the very best and
brightest,” said Andy Cole, president and chief executive officer of Total
Transportation Services. “We’re glad to have them on board and look forward to
working together to provide best-in-class technology and customer service.”
