About Central Transport
Central Transport is all grown up and revving its engines. Our innovative and
dynamic LTL company has been the fastest growing in the industry, but we’re
just getting started. You may not know much about us because we are a
privately-held company. Our focus has been on creating a new industry business
model that maximizes the value provided to customers. CT is proud to do
business with many of the world’s largest corporations representing a broad
spectrum of manufacturing, retail, and companies of all sizes. We are
financially rock-solid and firmly positioned for the long term.

Coverage
We operate a network of nearly 200 customer service centers.
To serve you better, we have recently opened and expanded a number of
facilities across the largest 45 states and Canadian provinces. We are one of
few providers who can effectively service the long-haul market, all the major
regional markets, and the international market. We’ve invested heavily in
service capabilities in our customers’ biggest markets – Chicago, LA, Dallas,
Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, and others. Yet this is the smaller part of the
system-wide investments we continue to make.

Fleet
Reliable, high quality service is the cornerstone of value, and Central
Transport’s product definitely delivers. Our on-time service is extremely
dependable and our transit times are competitive. That’s why we provide a
no-upcharge guaranteed next-day service in certain regions. Just within the
last year, we’ve purchased over 1,500 new tractors and trailers (100% air-ride
to protect your freight) for the industry’s most modern fleet, with an average
age of two years. Brand new “pups” are now in service throughout our system to
reduce damage and transit times. We have fine-tuned our Activity Center network
to minimize handling and maximize speed and quality.

Quality
We’ve invested millions in equipment and technology to move your freight
(especially palletized freight) more efficiently and protect it from damage and
loss, including the installation of loading bars and decking systems throughout
our fleet. Central Transport’s approach to quality service is proactive. Each
Activity Center has its own Quality Assurance executive. Our Process
Engineering group ensures standardized practices system-wide and continuous
improvement. This goes way beyond C-TPAT and many other programs
for which we are also certified. Customers have recognized the value of this
method and benefited from it. For example, Schneider Logistics recently named
Central Transport as its “Carrier of the Year” for the third year in a row.

are delivering, on time and with an outstanding safety record. The combination
of a highly-trained and motivated work force, clear performance standards, and

Technology
Our new enterprise computer system is entirely web-based and, in conjunction
with the hand-held computers our drivers and docks use, runs on 100% real time
data. It provides all the tracking tools we and our customers need to identify
any potential problems early on and head them off. You can also be sure that
you will always get correct and timely freight bills, which conveniently
include a copy of your bill of lading and delivery receipt on the same
document. Our focus on the customer’s needs and on creating value is also
evident in our easy-to-use, comprehensive, and technologically-advanced support
areas, such as this web site and our customer service center ((586) 467-1900).

Business Partners
We further demonstrate our customer orientation through the latitude we give
our service centers and sales executives to create customized solutions for our
customers with special needs – for example, to streamline their supply chain by
using Central Transport’s terminals as consolidation or distribution centers,
or through our reverse logistics expertise, or by seamlessly tying in with our
sister companies LINC, CTX, CSI, and Central Global for dedicated, warehousing,
expedited, or international needs.
