Established in 1992, the founder, Melody Warren, saw a need for reliable freight service providers in an industry where commitment was lacking. Her industry experience had taught her to always provide the truth about a customer’s freight, no matter the consequences. Her integrity and constant customer communication helped provide solutions to her customers and with that Transportation Logistics Systems Inc (TLSI) got its start on the third floor of her Waldo home.​

It did not take long for the staff to grow when the company’s core values were applied to customer freight. The team moved into a historic 2-story building in 1998.​

TLSI quickly grew into a full-service, third-party logistics provider with an established customer base, including both Fortune 500 and smaller companies. They relied on TLSI as their “in-house” shipping department, building long-term partnerships.​
