“I am excited to join a company like TA Services that prioritizes innovation and operational excellence, but above all else, people. My fellow leaders make it a point to cultivate a people-first culture and to listen intently to understand our customers and their needs,” said Welling. “Recent global supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 will see more companies embrace nearshoring, and thereby increase the need for effective cross-border logistics. TA Services is uniquely positioned to support this need with our strategically located warehouses for northbound and southbound freight, longstanding carrier relationships and transloading services to ensure cargo is moved efficiently and reliably between countries.”
