Company History
Total Transportation Logistics, also known familiarly as TTL, has a history of providing quality transportation services to its customers. Established in 2000 with a staff of just three, it has grown from a small, high-value freight service provider to a company of over 125 employees with sales of $20 million dollars as of 2007.
Total Transportation Logistics is an independently owned and operated agent for Mayflower Van Lines. Currently it ranks as the number one Mayflower agent for the transportation of special products and electronics.
Upon inception, the company first shared office space with its sister company, S&M Moving Systems, in Santa Fe Springs, California. TTL was established by current President, Bob Hicks, then a top sales agent for a competitor, and the owners of S&M Moving Systems. Within months TTL’s employee numbers and sales became so great the business had to relocate to its first office in Ontario, California. Business continued to grow exponentially, making increased warehouse and office space an issue, so a new home was sought for the company. In 2006, TTL came to occupy its current location in Mira Loma, California.
In 2005 TTL expanded its operations to include a northern California presence in Fremont. Services provided at this location predominantly include rigging, transportation and warehousing services.
What makes Total Transportation Logistics so successful is its ability to take very complicated, often large, technologically-advanced electronic equipment from the manufacturing floor of its clients and safely transport these items to the end user, such as a hospital or satellite launch site. And the Company is able to do so cost effectively to the customer by eliminating excessive crating and packaging services. Blanket wrap and utilizing a unique system of straps inside the truck to secure high-value items distinguishes TTL from the common carrier. Employing these methods has brought the Company business from Fortune 500 companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Cardinal Health.
TTL uses technology to service our clients’ increasingly sophisticated needs. Specially designed equipment, such as air-ride suspension systems in flat-floored vehicles, allows the movers to adjust loads and keep them level while eliminating 75 percent of road shock. Power-lift gates, special loading mechanisms to handle sensitive computer hardware, and specialized training ensure the safe transport of the most delicate equipment. A distinguishing factor in TTL’s ability to service its customer is the use of a web site that tracks all the milestones of a product in transport, from date of pickup through time of delivery, all in real time.
Total Transportation Logistics’ management today is as contemporary as its high-tech equipment, emphasizing important core values as a means to future success: long-term customer satisfaction; quality services at a fair price; a satisfying company work environment demonstrated in team spirit; and respect and appreciation for individual responsibilities, beliefs, and needs, even as the Company continues to grow.
