BTS BLOG: Simplify Freight with Bonded Transportation

By Sean Fox, Marketing and Communications Manager

Here at Bonded, our transportation division, Bonded Transportation (BTS), is more than just a freight broker. They are your strategic partner in supply chain efficiency. When it comes to moving product, there’s no room for delay, confusion or finger-pointing between vendors. Sean Ryan, Director of BTS, and his team of experts exist to eliminate all of that by giving you smarter freight solutions.

Let’s talk about what makes them stand out …

First of all, BTS isn’t just another broker or load board, they are a true 3PL partner. What do they offer you ask?

  • Customized freight solutions: LTL, full truckload and drayage are part of their specialties. Whether it’s a shuttle run, quick trip to/from a nearby port or long haul across the country, they can get it done.
  • Dedicated account support: Sean and his staff are here to learn your business and what works best for you. They will also actually answer your phone calls with access to their direct lines and emails without jumping through a bunch of automated hoops.
  • New TMS technology: Last August, BTS announced their new Transportation Management Software (TMS) BrokerWare allowing BTS to empower their clients by creating tech-enabled tools such as real-time tracking, dispatching, and invoicing that build better business solutions. You can check out the full news release by clicking HERE.  
  • Nationwide network of vetted carriers: BTS has vetted all of their carriers, so your freight moves with confidence. Why is having a vetted carrier important? Because Sean’s team has spent the time making sure your product is in good, safe hands. Too many things can go wrong if proper vetting and background screening is done incorrectly. That’s where the team’s experience of over 50 years comes into play!

Now let’s factor in our “One Bonded” approach offering fully integrated logistics that combine our warehousing and packaging operations, and you’ve got one efficient, accountable partnership. When your transportation team sits under the same roof, magic can happen!

  • No more delays waiting on third-party carriers
  • No more confusion between packaging completion and outbound shipping
  • No rework, relabeling or miscommunication
  • One team, one plan!

Whether they are managing inbound raw materials to Bonded Pac or outbound freight from any of our Charlotte-area warehouses, BTS ensures tight handoffs, proactive planning and end-to-end visibility.

Lastly, our BTS team is focused on more than rates. They are here to solve problems, help cut costs and create simplicity. Pair them up with our warehousing and/or packaging divisions, and suddenly multiple handoffs are eliminated, cycle times are reduced, and your bottom line improves. They simply help build smarter supply chains.

If your current freight solution feels disconnected from the rest of your operation, it may be time to give Sean a call. Let him and his team take transportation off your plate and put smarter, faster and more cost-effective logistics in motion. Click HERE to contact Sean today!
