since 1996. In 2010, Reed Transport formed
a strategic partnership with TMS Logistics
– a licensed motor carrier servicing the con-
tinental United States. The combined brand,
ReedTMS, provides expanded service offer-
ings that address the logistics and transpor-
tation needs of shippers.
The partnership with TMS Logistics has
increased Reed’s high quality services in a
number of ways, and has quickly educated
them on the challenges that trucking com-
pany’s face, which they learned to have a “full
and sound respect for,” says CEOJasonReed.
“It’s changed the culture and the approach of
some of the people here.” The partnership
has also helped them garner additional busi-
ness through established relationships, pre-
viously considered “asset-friendly shippers,”
which now provide themwith brokerage, lo-
gistics or technological opportunities. This
brings them closer to being a one-stop shop
for any type of transport need.
