PTS Logistics Showcased in Flying Typers Air Cargo News
PTS Logistics (PTSL), a leading logistics provider headquartered in Wood Dale, IL, was recently featured in Flying Typers Air Cargo News, the official newsletter of TIACA (The International Air Cargo Association). The article spotlighted Bill Gerst, Business Development Manager for PTS Logistics, and highlighted the company’s expertise and dedication to the air cargo industry.
A Leader in Logistics Solutions
Founded in 2004, PTS Logistics has established itself as a trusted partner for some of the world’s largest Indirect Air Carriers (IAC) and freight forwarders. The company operates a robust direct over-the-road connection from Chicago O’Hare Airport (ORD) to its Miami warehouse near Ronald Reagan Turnpike and Interstate 75. This 24-hour, six-days-a-week line-haul service supports refrigerated cargo and other specialized logistics needs.
“We are known for experience in handling cargo from ORD for Latin America destinations,” shared Bill Gerst. “PTS Logistics builds truckloads six days a week, offering line-haul service from ORD to MIA and back, ensuring reliable and efficient transportation.”
Specialized Expertise in HazMat and Pharmaceutical Logistics
PTS Logistics excels in specialized handling of steel drums for hazardous material (HazMat) consignments. When TSA lifted exemptions on steel drum examinations, PTSL quickly adapted, investing in advanced technologies such as X-ray systems and canine detection resources. Their facilities in both Miami (MIA) and Chicago (ORD) are designated and certified cargo screening facilities, offering a comprehensive suite of services managed by highly trained specialists.
Additionally, PTS Logistics holds Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification, positioning them among the few transportation companies in Illinois to meet the highest standards for handling pharmaceutical products. “GDP underscores our commitment to excellence in transporting pharmaceutical goods,” noted Gerst.
Building Community at TIACA’s Air Cargo Forum
Gerst also shared his enthusiasm for attending TIACA’s Air Cargo Forum (ACF), calling it one of his favorite industry events. “The thing I like about coming to this show in South Florida is that you feel like you are part of a community. We all have a place at the table and work together to understand how we can collaborate better,” he explained.
