LOS ANGELES, Aug. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Total Transportation Services, Inc. (“TTSI”), a leading provider of drayage and over-the-road trucking services is pleased to announce the acquisition of Tri Pak, Inc. (“Tri Pak”), a transloading, warehousing, and logistics company which has been servicing clients around the Port of Tacoma for over three decades.
The acquisition expands TTSI’s geographic footprint from Southern California, Stockton and Virginia to the Pacific Northwest. Tri Pak provides transloading, value-added warehousing, drayage, long-haul and brokerage trucking services.

We are very excited to welcome Tri Pak to the TTSI family.
