Trucking news and briefs for Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021:
The TIS LTL team is now available for shipment quoting, coordination, tracking and back-office support.
TIS was formed in 2015 through the acquisition of Logistadvise Inc., a logistics software company founded by Eric Spearin and Lionel Bao, and its new LTL division complements the existing full truckload service while rounding out the company’s freight management offering. The company’s proprietary transportation management system, ShipTIS, emphasizes automation and complete data visibility for shippers.
Spearin said TIS customers have been leveraging the company's dedicated fleet capacity on a full truckload basis, "but we continued to hear the requests for a true LTL solution. In addition to adding a dedicated LTL team, we also have integrated an LTL portal into ShipTIS where customers can book, quote and track their own LTL shipments.”
Delivering both 3PL and 4PL logistics solutions, TIS has leveraged its purchasing power by contracting with both premium and economic carriers on a national, regional and local level – a vast network the company says will create cost-saving opportunities for customers and ensure the right carrier is assigned for every shipment’s unique requirements.
