Driving Results: Inside tkSCS’s End-to-End Freight Engine

Transportation isn’t just a piece of the supply chain, it is the supply chain. It’s the engine. When it runs well, everything else does too. When it breaks, the business slows down.

That’s why companies are rethinking their logistics strategies and who they trust to carry them out. More are choosing thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services (tkSCS) for one reason: results. From first mile to final mile, tkSCS delivers reliability, visibility, and performance at scale.

With over 55 years in the field and a 99% on-time rate, tkSCS isn't just a freight provider. It's a logistics partner built for growth. Here’s how they help businesses move smarter, faster, and further.

A Freight Partner That Thinks Beyond the Truck

Most providers move freight. tkSCS moves business.

What makes them different? Total control. With an asset-based fleet of 240+ trucks and 440+ trailers, dry vans, flatbeds, Conestogas, and more they own the operation from start to finish. Fewer handoffs. Fewer headaches.

But control isn’t the only edge. tkSCS leads with strategy. Every client gets a plan tailored to business goals, not just destinations. Whether you're a regional manufacturer or a coast-to-coast distributor, they flex to match your pace and footprint.

Freight Solutions That Match Your Momentum

No two loads are the same. tkSCS offers a flexible menu of services that scale with demand:

• Full Truckload (FTL): Dedicated capacity for high-volume, high-priority freight.
  
  

• Less-than-Truckload (LTL): Smart consolidation and network intelligence for smaller shipments.
  
  

• Flatbed & Conestoga: Heavy, oversized, or irregular? They've got the gear.
  
  

• Drayage: Port-to-warehouse moves done right.
  
  

• Final Mile: Tight windows. Critical deliveries. No drops missed.
  
  

• Expedited Freight: When time isn’t on your side, they are.
  
  

• Yard Management: Keep your yards flowing with real-time coordination and visibility.
  
  

From Texas to Ohio, job site to job site, tkSCS has the muscle and systems to get it done.

Real-Time Tech. Real-World Speed.

Logistics runs on data - if you know how to use it. tkSCS uses a Transportation Management System (TMS) that doesn’t just track freight. It empowers teams to act.

Their TMS delivers:

• Live shipment visibility across every route
  
  

• Automated status updates
  
  

• Efficiency analytics to flag process gaps
  
  

• Load optimization for better fill rates and lower cost-per-mile
  
  

Reactive is out. Proactive is in. tkSCS helps teams stop chasing problems and start solving them.

Industry Fluency, Built-In Flexibility

tkSCS works across industries that don’t tolerate errors—energy, automotive, eCommerce, heavy manufacturing. Each has different rules. Different risks. Different rhythms.

That’s why every freight plan is built around your constraints from regulatory & dimensional to seasonal. Need Conestoga coverage for oversized solar freight routed through customs hubs? Done. LTL to 30 retail sites with strict time windows? No sweat.

One model doesn’t fit all. Their model fits you.

Safety Isn’t Just Protocol—It’s Priority

With professional drivers and high standards, tkSCS keeps safety at the center of every mile.

• Advanced training for compliance and job site entry
  
  

• Proactive fleet maintenance
  
  

• Audits and updates tied to DOT and industry benchmarks
  
  

You’re not just shipping products, you’re protecting people and reputations. They treat that responsibility like their own.

Final Mile That Finishes Strong

The final mile isn’t a detail. It’s the difference between trust and friction.

That’s why tkSCS brings urgency and precision to the last leg. They coordinate delivery windows, maintain real-time comms, and send proof-of-delivery updates live.

And if something goes wrong? Their ops team fixes it fast. No silos. No surprises. Just results.

Design the Network. Don’t Just Drive It.

tkSCS doesn’t just move freight through existing routes. They help design better ones.

Using demand forecasting and network modeling, they work with clients to shift from fixed routines to dynamic routing based on real-time needs.

That shift drives:

• Fewer empty miles
  
  

• Lower transportation cost
  
  

• More consistent delivery windows
  
  

• Higher load utilization
  
  

Strategic planning isn’t a bonus service. It’s standard.

Collaboration That Feels Like In-House Muscle

You don’t need another vendor. You need a partner who thinks with you.

tkSCS embeds transportation planners, fleet managers, and logistics specialists into your daily flow. Their team plugs in with ops, inventory, and supply chain leads to find and fix issues before they escalate.

You get access to:

• Industry-specific expertise
  
  

• Weekly syncs and ops reviews
  
  

• Transparent KPI reporting (with context, not just numbers)
  
  

That kind of access leads to better calls, faster pivots, and stronger logistics muscle.

Smarter Moves. Smaller Footprint.

Sustainability isn’t a tagline at tkSCS. It’s a playbook.

Their green strategy includes:

• Optimized routing to eliminate deadhead miles
  
  

• Investments in alternative-fuel and low-emission vehicles
  
  

• Emissions tracking and carbon reporting
  
  

• Load consolidation strategies
  
  

Whether it’s part of your ESG targets or simply good business, they help you move smarter while moving cleaner.

Visibility That Powers Every Decision

In freight, knowing beats guessing.

tkSCS offers end-to-end visibility with digital tools that keep stakeholders informed and ready to act. From customized dashboards to shipment alerts, you see what’s happening in real time—and what needs to happen next.

That clarity helps:

• Plan labor and dock scheduling
  
  

• Communicate with customers
  
  

• Track performance against SLAs
  
  

With tkSCS, visibility isn’t a feature. It’s baked into every service.

Built to Partner. Built to Perform.

tkSCS doesn’t operate in the background. They co-create logistics strategies with you.

From live ops dashboards to executive performance reviews, they make sure every part of your supply chain is aligned and informed.

They don’t just share data—they help you act on it. They don’t just hit metrics—they help you raise the bar. That’s partnership by design.
