Our Mission
TTSI is committed to being on the cutting edge of sustainability from our customers to our drivers and to the environment.
COMMITMENT TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Customers are the reason we are in business; their satisfaction is our work. Every customer is treated as if he or she were our only customer. From the initial contact to final freight disposition, our desire to please is paramount. We earnestly aspire to this goal every moment of every day.
COMMITMENT TO OUR DRIVERS
Our drivers are at the heart of our operations, and we are dedicated to treating them as such. We are 100% California Compliant and our drivers enjoy benefits, hourly and piecemeal wages, digital logs, and an exciting driver training program that takes a driver from 0 experience to ready to hit the road with confidence.
COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
TTSI is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen by reducing our carbon footprint in communities we operate as well as sustaining a healthy workplace for our employees – as well as reducing the impact to the environment where we work and the neighborhoods in which we live. At TTSI we are committed to leaving as small a footprint as possible on our precious environment. That's why we are committed to several ecological goals designed to drastically reduce our operational emissions and subsequent environmental pollution.
Our History
Started in 1989 in response to unmet market needs, two astute transportation professionals created an airfreight company that became the precursor to Total Transportation Services, Inc (TTSI). Co-Founders Vic LaRosa and Bill Allen officially began TTSI operations as a Less than Truckload (LTL) service provider. In the early 1990s, the company entered the truckload market and subsequently established its drayage operations in the late 1990s. Encouraged by the needs of our customers, TTSI began its warehousing operation in 2002 for a major apparel retailer.
TTSI’s distinctive competence remains the development of customer solutions that emphasize speed-to market and dependable service delivery, at a fair price. The continued rapid growth of international trade via container shipments makes optimizing a firm’s supply chain performance more important than ever.
