TST Announcement

Mississauga, ON – August 2010 For the 3rd time in the last 6 months, TST Overland Express is expanding its transportation network improvements with the addition of a new Winnipeg, MB – Minneapolis, MN gateway. This new gateway will deliver improved transit times on many lanes in the Midwest by up to 2 days.

Minneapolis was selected to provide a regional distribution hub in the upper Midwest of the US as it is key to the continuing development of services between Western Canada and the US, particularly the Midwest.

“This current move is just one more step in strengthening our LTL network across North American,” states Rob O’Reilly, President, TST Overland Express. “We made a commitment to making service improvements for our customers – and we are delivering.”

There are two key factors at the core of the transportation network improvements – direct line-haul and proprietary technology.

Direct line-haul reduces freight handling and transit times from origin to destination, which in turn enables TST to continue to provide industry-leading service.

Proprietary TST technology applications have been designed specifically for expedited, efficient management of route and cross border activity. Based on input from customers, brokers and both US and Canada Customs, the systems ensure that the required documentation is in the right place at the right time, thus reducing delays at the loading point and at the border.
