We help people distribute
their products, efficiently and economically
Established in 1987
Transportation & Logistical Concepts is always looking for
innovative ways to improve the services we provide. Our
reputation is built on our ability to serve your shipping needs
accurately, reliably and cost-effectively. Our goal is to
establish long-term relationships with customers by helping them
distribute their products efficiently and economically.
To meet that goal and meet our customers' wide-ranging needs, we
have developed many innovative programs over the past several
years. We have also established strategic alliances with
business partners to offer a full line of value added services.
From an occasional load to complete outsourcing, Transportation
& Logistical Concepts, "TLC," assists our clients with
infrequent moves as well as comprehensive supply chain
solutions.
Greater
Carrier Access
Our clients turn to TLC to relieve the mounting burden of
finding qualified carriers in the right lanes, at the right
time. Experts agree that issues of driver shortages, rising fuel
costs and capacity constraints are making transportation
procurement a discipline best suited to companies equipped with
the proper technology, commitment and volume to attract and
retain top-notch carriers.
We have an established qualified carrier base that equates to
flexibility and responsiveness for our clients, with competitive
rates and high quality service. This includes contract carriers
and private fleets that rely on TLC to find them “back hauls”
because they have no sales representation of their own.
Purchasing
Power And Collaboration
Because we procure significant volumes of transportation, we are
often able to negotiate competitive rates from the best
carriers. We buy capacity in the marketplace as it meets your
specific needs: the best service and competitive cost.
Therefore, you don't have to ship high volumes to benefit from
utilizing TLC.
Security &
Peace Of Mind
In addition to direct carrier insurance that is verified and
monitored, TLC also provides contingency cargo coverage. In the
event of a cargo claim, TLC is quick to provide the
administration of the claims process and avoid additional
exposure and administrative work.
Unlike other 3rd parties, TLC provides safety to both shippers
and carriers. Payments from shippers are made to a trust
accounting service. Once payments are received, they are
disbursed to carriers and TLC for the services they perform.
Thus assuring shippers that they will never be asked by a
carrier to pay again, for a shipment they have already paid for.
Furthermore, assuring carriers that they will be paid for
services performed. This allows TLC to do business with more
shippers and carriers.
Reduced
Overhead
By outsourcing a portion or all of your supply chain management,
TLC provides a unique opportunity to lower operating overhead
and take advantage of the entire transportation management
skills employed by the TLC team.
Management
Team
The team assembled by TLC is impossible to duplicate. For most
companies it would be cost prohibitive. Furthermore, even if
cost wasn’t a consideration, our vast team of experts, with
varied experience and expertise, stay on top of changing trends,
assuring you of the best of the best.
Our latest offerings, under the heading of Logistics Management,
are the result of years of research evaluating our client's
needs and comparing them with available resources. The outcome
was to present a wide variety of services for you to choose
from, best suited to your individual needs. At the core is a
world class On-Demand Traffic Management System, "TMS" providing
numerous opportunities to reduce costs for any company. By
combining the technological aspects of the TMS with the years of
experience of our vast team of experts, we can take you to the
next level with our Managed Transportation Services, “MTS.”
