Logistics Management:
TLC’s Managed Transportation Services, or MTS, provides everything necessary for logistics management. Some companies choose to outsource all of their logistics functions, while others prefer to handle some things themselves. The choice is yours. Screening and selecting carriers This seems like the one area that companies seem most concerned about. They either want to maintain their long term relationships with their carriers and their representatives, or fear that by changing carriers, they will disrupt their shipping operations, or service to their customers.

Recognizing this anxiety, TLC’s MTS begins by working within your present carrier group, but more effectively. For example, we strive for the least cost routing, regardless of which of your qualified carriers that happens to be. However, we also take into consideration requests by your customers, on the one hand, and dock congestion, on the other. It is only after all these things have been considered that we would suggest adding or reducing carriers. Moreover, we understand that people, not just numbers are involved.
