I’ve been in the Logistics game a long time and I have dealt with many companies that offer “The Best Deal in Town” and then they give me a laundry list of trucking companies to pick from and offer little to no assurances that they will have your back if things go sideways.

TDS however has always been right there to solve whatever problems came my way for several years and they did it with a professionalism that I find to be rare in this industry. If you want a company to literally go to bat for you in any scenario I highly recommend TDS to be your go-to company to handly your freight.

I’ve been workinng with TDS since 2017 and they have always done excellent work. The staff is awesome and they are always available to help me set up shipments or answer any questions I have. When I have a difficult shipment to set up they give recommendations for the best options.

The two times I recall we have had any issues (both times at the carrier’s end of things) the TDS crew steped up and took care of the problem quickly and professionally. If you are looking for someone to handle your freight, TDS is the company you want.
