KTS Logistics is pleased to announce two service enhancing features to start off 2017. Both allow for better shipment control and improved service to their customers. January 9th marks the commencement of their own local cartage/pick-up and delivery service in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This will be closely followed by a web-based shipment tracking on their website. The decision to put their own “rubber on the road” was a natural progression for the fast growing third party logistics company. KTS Owner and President, Terry Tamburro explains, “We have a great network of partner carriers across North America. Still, with a high percentage of shipments either commencing or terminating in the GTA, we believe the addition of our own P&D equipment will improve service all around.” The KTS P&D equipment will run as far East as Pickering, North to Newmarket, West to Guelph and South to downtown Toronto. Equipped for tailgate service, deliveries to retail outlets will be a focus. The combination of asset and non-asset resources gives KTS added capacity, coverage and greater control over clients’ shipment requirements. KTS customers can use their shipment reference number or waybill number to get all the critical shipment information they need through the KTS website. The site features a secure portal for customers and a Fast Track feature which provides up-to-the-minute shipment status by simply entering the shipment reference or waybill number. Terry Tamburro adds, “As a 3PL, integrating multiple North American carriers’ data to provide a single customer portal is both unique and helpful for our clients.”
