Terminal Transportation Services plays a crucial role in supporting Baltimore's commerce, primarily facilitating the movement of cargo in the tristate area and beyond. With the Baltimore/ Washington area being the 4th largest consumer market in North America, its services has always been in high demand, and this has only intensified with the port of Baltimore gaining more prominence and efficiency.

The company’s services include handling containers of various sizes—20 footers, 40 footers, overweight, triaxles, 45 footers, and 53 footers—from the rail yard adjacent to the port. It handles CSX and other equipment, except for flat racks or other specialized pieces. Terminal Transportation Services’ reach extends beyond the Baltimore community; the company has the capability to deliver dry van, flatbed, and containerized cargos within a 150-mile radius and to specific points beyond.

“When you step into our office, you'll witness the technological efficiencies we've incorporated, such as GPS tracking on all trucks. This enables us to monitor their location, whether they're in the port, waiting, or facing any challenges, allowing us to proactively address issues as they arise,” says Dominic Covello, EVP of Terminal Transportation.

The company has established API and EDI connections, granting it real-time information on container arrivals, holds, and any potential obstacles posed during retrieval. The connections that Terminal Transportation Services has established enable them to update customers on the status of their shipments, from arrival at the terminal to release. This proactive communication sets it apart and defines its structured approach in the industry.

The company has a team of innovative and experienced employees who have extensive industry knowledge and digital expertise. These skills have transformed their operation as part of an ongoing effort to be adaptive in the dynamic space of logistics.

Terminal Transportation Services is poised for growth. Currently, its sister company operates terminals that handle containerized and break bulk cargos, and is actively servicing the Mid-Atlantic region. Along with freight shipping, the port logistics expert has also evolved in procuring and maintaining its own equipment without relying on unpredictable depot supplies. This gives Terminal Transportation Services a competitive edge in the drayage market, especially over the last two years when equipment was in dearth, leading to many other providers amassing demurrage penalties.

In an era of rapid evolution, Terminal Transportation Services is at the forefront of meeting all logistics needs and accelerating supply chain operations. It improves the performance of global economic activities and consistently delivers an outstanding customer experience. The company takes service so seriously that it puts it in their name.
