“I’d like to say that switching 3PL companies was very scary for our company however it was the best move we could have made. The transition to TLI was very smooth and without a glitch for our operations team. We didn’t miss a shipment and had no down time. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.

What is a Managed transportation services provider?

A managed transportation provider acts as your outsourced freight department — handling carrier sourcing, day-to-day execution, freight audit, and reporting so you don’t need a large internal logistics team.

How long does a freight RFP take with TLI?

Most carrier RFPs are completed within 4–6 weeks from kickoff. TLI manages the entire process — lane analysis, carrier outreach, negotiations, and award recommendations.

What size shippers does TLI work with?

TLI primarily serves mid-market and enterprise shippers — typically companies spending $150,000 or more annually on freight across multiple modes and lanes.
