Sincerely,
Brian Arnott
President and CEO
Traffic Tech Inc.
“Our Mission is to continuously meet or exceed our customer’s expectations, offering cost-effective,
state-of-the-art services by anticipating and responding to their transportation challenges
in a thorough and professional manner.”
3. “The key to total customer satisfaction is to combine state-of-the-art
High -Tech with a Personal Touch traffic technology with an expert team committed to
customer service.”
Easy access to accurate data is vital to
an effective supply chain. That’s why we
have invested in technology’s most advanced
tools, automated systems and software. We
leverage every possible means of facilitating
the exchange of information on your behalf.
Still, there’s no substitute for hard work – or the
human touch. Our people are our most valuable
asset. They are well trained, because we train them
ourselves, and we offer development opportunities
that motivate them to continually improve the quality
of our service. They are available 24 hours a day.
Better yet, they are accessible, with full-time
receptionists to answer and expedite your
call during business hours, and an
after-hours system that links you with
your representative’s mobile phone
in seconds. When you call
Traffic Tech, you don’t get
automation run-around.
You get connected.
We have the technology you need to keep your freight moving, from Web tracing and EDI to LTL load
optimization software and a VPN supported by dedicated T-1 lines. To ensure zero downtime,
we have on-site electrical generators and a fully staffed IS Department.
4. “We take care of our customers personally, every step of the way,
One Call Convenience & Confidence from initial contact to delivery confirmation
and customized reporting.”
We call it One Call Service, and it means that when
you choose Traffic Tech, you free yourself from the
inconvenience of dealing with everyone involved in
the movement of your freight. Just one call and you
can relax, knowing we’re on top of the details.
We match the freight needs of a broad range of
clients with carrier availability across North America
and around the world. Our relationships with carriers
and international agents are strong. Our knowledge of
cross-border regulations is deep. We have a full-time,
in-house legal staff, and we are on duty and available
around the clock. We are proud of our performance,
but we actively solicit customer feedback because
we are always looking to improve. As a result,
our on-time delivery rate exceeds 98%, with
a claims rate of just 0.1%.
We serve clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and medium-sized enterprises in every sector of the economy,
from manufacturing to raw materials, from processed goods to high-tech.
5. “Our carriers are more than suppliers, they’re our partners. We nurture
Better Carriers, Better Service strong relationships, and our customers and carriers
reap the benefits.”
At Traffic Tech, what began with the simple idea that carriers
should be recognized for exceptional service quickly blossomed
into an invaluable business tool – our Carrier Rating System.
While all Traffic Tech carriers meet stringent insurance
requirements, safety ratings and communication capability
standards, some outperform the rest. We know, because we
monitor them continuously and rate them accordingly.
Carriers with higher ratings earn preferred status and,
along with it, more of our business.
The goal is to develop and maintain a secure base
of top-notch carriers to work in partnership with us.
The result is a win-win situation for both
parties in this highly competitive industry, and
that’s something that ultimately benefits everyone.
We ensure outstanding carrier relations. We survey our carriers regularly to gain their input. We emphasize fair dealings through prompt payment
and mediation services. Our internal, company-wide equipment postings make it easy for carriers to keep us up to the minute,
while also keeping information about our customer’s shipments within the Traffic Tech family.
6. “No matter where your freight may be on the road,
Trucking Services it’s always on our mind.”
We cut our teeth on trucking. In fact, as deregulation
took effect in the 1980s, Traffic Tech was among the
first to step in and streamline the customer-carrier
link, bringing benefits to both sides of the equation.
Today, with a virtually unlimited number of vehicles at
our disposal, we have the resources to match your
freight with a carrier anywhere in the United States,
Canada or Mexico. But unlike many competitors, we
don’t stop there. We monitor pick-up and delivery
times and notify you the moment they occur. We
watch every detail of your shipment’s movement.
And we live by accountability. That’s why the
Traffic Tech sales representative you deal with is
also the operations manager responsible for your
job. There will be no hand-off or buck-passing,
just end-to-end commitment to the safe and
timely arrival of your goods. That’s how we
built our reputation – and how we maintain it.
