Trinity Logistics, a leading third-party logistics provider (3PL) offering logistics and supply chain solutions, proudly shares its recognition as a Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation by the Women in Trucking Association (WIT) for the sixth consecutive year. 

This prestigious honor highlights companies that demonstrate a commitment to gender diversity, inclusivity, and career advancement for women in the transportation industry. Trinity Logistics ranked highly in these areas, and the nomination was validated by an industry-wide vote involving over 31,000 transportation professionals.

“As someone who has spent my career in male-dominated industries and being relatively new to Trinity with just over two years here, I feel an immense sense of pride that Trinity has been recognized for the sixth consecutive year as a Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation,” said Carlie Crouch, Director of Talent Management at Trinity. “There is a deep sense of understanding and support at Trinity—as mothers, coworkers, and friends. The ability to balance all aspects of my life while feeling seen and heard as a woman is something I truly value. As the Director of Talent Management, I enjoy sharing with future team members the incredible opportunities available at Trinity for women to thrive and succeed. I’m proud to be part of Team Trinity.”

Key features that distinguished Trinity Logistics included its positive and family-friendly culture that supports diversity, competitive pay, quality benefits for employees and their families, ample time off, flexible work arrangements to encourage work-life balance, and extensive professional development opportunities. 

“This achievement reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where every Team Member can thrive,” said Amy Proctor, Senior Vice President of Logistics Solutions at Trinity. “We continue to empower our Team to reach new heights. In my own journey here, I’ve seen firsthand how our culture of collaboration and growth makes a real difference. The opportunities for leadership development, mentorship, and professional growth have shaped my career and allowed me to contribute in meaningful ways. It’s inspiring to see the impact women have across our company and I’m proud to be part of a Team that champions opportunity for all.”

To date, Trinity employs over 400 Team Members across six Regional Service Centers, with more than half of them being women. Notably, 16.7 percent of these women hold management or leadership roles, including the current President, Sarah Ruffcorn, who also serves as co-chair on the Women in Logistics Committee with the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA). 

“We’re incredibly honored to receive this award for a 6th year!” said Sarah Ruffcorn, President of Trinity Logistics. “This achievement reflects our amazing Team that continues to live and create a culture in which anyone can thrive. We’re proud of our efforts to continuously offer a supportive environment, ensuring our Team Members have the opportunity to succeed and grow.”

Trinity Logistics thanks WIT for the recognition and wants to congratulate all the companies that made the list.

Trinity Logistics, a prominent third-party logistics (3PL) provider, has teamed up with Truck Parking Club to offer discounted parking options for Carriers within its network.  

“We understand that Carriers face several challenges daily, but safe parking shouldn’t be one of them,” said Chad Taylor, Vice President of Carrier Development at Trinity Logistics. “This partnership allows us to ease that burden by offering an additional option for our Carrier relationships when they need safe, secure parking.” 

Carriers must be registered and set up with Trinity Logistics to take advantage of this new benefit. All current Carrier relationships will be sent email communications with instructions on how to receive their discount. Carriers who decide to capitalize on the for discount for Truck Parking Club will be able to: 

• Book a daily parking location. Some locations may also offer hourly, weekly and monthly rates.  

• Search for and book parking using an interactive map that displays all available locations across the U.S. 

• Search for and book parking when planning a route or by finding a parking spot near a specific location.  

• View parking location information, including daily costs and available spaces, as well as amenities such as restrooms, 24/7 access, etc., and contact 27/7/365 customer support (staffed by former drivers) to ask any questions. 

“Truck Parking Club was created to help truckers save time and fuel by finding and instantly reserving truck parking across the US,” said Evan Shelley, CEO at Truck Parking Club. “Our solution brings more truck parking online quickly by enabling owners to list space on their existing yards and properties. Our trucker members, and now Trinity Logistics carriers, are then able to quickly search and reserve available truck parking spaces, allowing them to plan a trip with confidence knowing they have a parking space. We are excited to partner with Trinity Logistics, as we think our solution is a great value add to their carrier partners.”

Have you ever wondered what a freight broker is, what they do, and why they exist?

To put it in simple terms, freight brokers are simply matchmakers. They are the middleman between the shipper (the maker or owner of the product) and the trucking company that moves the freight.

Freight brokers perform a valuable service for both ends of the spectrum, however, they do not function as an actual motor carrier. Instead, they arrange for the transport of goods.

Freight broker activities are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) which defines a broker as “a person who, for compensation, arranges, or offers to arrange, the transportation of property by an authorized motor carrier”.  -49 C.F.R. Part 371

Brokerages

Freight brokerages provide assistance to motor carriers by filling their trucks and providing assistance along the route to help the truck driver deliver the order on time.

Not every motor carrier has a private sales force working to secure loads for their fleet and needs help accessing a network of shippers quickly to keep them rolling. Freight brokers also provide great financial service to truckers, providing fuel advances to help with cash flow and offering quick payment plans. Oftentimes, the carrier is paid before the freight broker collects payment from the shipper! Bottom line, a freight broker exists to help the motor carriers relocate their equipment to a better freight market, or in many cases, back to their home base.

Many companies find the services provided by freight brokers to be an important link in their supply chain. The importance of a freight broker is easy to understand; the freight broker makes sure that the shipments are arranged to deliver on time at a fair price with reputable providers. Without freight brokers, shippers would encounter an enormous investment of time and money trying to find the right motor carrier to transport their products, tracking the shipment, and auditing freight bills.

Trinity Logistics, ranked by Transport Topics as one of the Top Freight Brokerages for the 20th consecutive year, moves an average of over 40,000 loads per month. With that amount of volume, we carry significant buying power and relationships with our carrier network. That translates into savings on each shipment that many shippers may not be able to obtain based on their volume alone.

Trinity Logistics saves shippers and motor carriers a great deal of time playing matchmaker. Our goal is not only to deliver your product on time but also to deliver time itself so that you can perform at your best without having to become experts in matching loads to trucks or vice versa.

Trinity Logistics is proud to announce its earned spot on Transport Topics’ 2022 Top Freight Brokerage Firms List for a 20^th consecutive year. Trinity earned spot 22 on this list of 100 top freight brokerages.

“This ranking continues to show Trinity’s strength and determination on serving our shipper and carrier customers with our customized logistics solutions,” says Sarah Ruffcorn, President of Trinity Logistics. “Team Trinity works hard to continue to grow and strengthen our shipper and carrier relationships, to simplify logistics, and ultimately, to provide an excellent Trinity experience. Earning this recognition continues to show we are rising to the ongoing supply chain challenges, and are serving our customers well. Thank you, Transport Topics, for the recognition. We’re honored to have made it another year on the list – #22!”

Trinity Logistics has a long history of celebrating the successes of our Authorized Agents – through sales awards, trips, and celebratory events. There is one award that encompasses all those rewards into one! The Platinum Agent designation.

The Agent Division of Trinity awards the Platinum Agent title to one of our Authorized Agent offices that have worked hard to excel in their field. Authorized Agents are acknowledged based on a system where they earn points. Points are earned for loyalty, year over year growth, and net revenue, which often is what accumulates the most points. Most Platinum Agents earned an annual net revenue of over $500,000!

Alongside the honor of receiving the award, Platinum Agents receive some extra perks. Each Platinum Agent receives a cash prize, as well as their airfare costs and full accommodations for two at the next Agent conference. They also get three more days of relaxing fun outside of the conference dates to enjoy. Each conference takes place at a different luxurious resort and city! Platinum Agents also receive an exclusive logo to use and show their status in the industry.

At the 2019 Agent Conference, 25 offices received the Platinum Agent designation. This represented a quarter of our total Authorized Agent offices. Some may wonder how this could happen. Well, we have a saying at Trinity…we are not trying to be the biggest, but the best! We provide the support and continuing education needed to grow an Agent’s business to the level that they want to achieve, with no limitations. Many of our new Authorized Agent offices have seen a growth of 25% in their first two years with Trinity.

Trinity Logistics is looking forward to awarding and celebrating this coming year’s Platinum Agents.
