Our Experience
TMS has decades of experience managing the transportation of building companies’ cargo, and so we understand its criticality and time-sensitivity on construction projects. Because of this, we provide cost-effective transportation solutions that are executed by our network of over 20,000 carriers. Our carrier partners have the expertise to transport your construction materials to manufacturing companies, distribution centers, and job sites on time and safely. Additionally, we have access to special equipment to accommodate complex and over-dimensional freight. To learn more about how we serve the building material industry, click on the three features below.
Whether you are shipping numerous truckload shipments or a few pallets, we can transport your cargo through our full truck load and less than truck load solutions. For these services, we manage the transportation of cargo from pickup to delivery, and we ensure that your freight arrives in perfect condition by partnering with certified and licensed carriers.
With TMS, you can gain access to capacity to facilitate all of your shipping needs regardless of market conditions. This is because we have built an infrastructure of over 20,000 carriers who have a proven track record of performing safe and prompt transportation of construction materials for companies. Additionally, we have access to special equipment to accommodate building materials with special requirements.
We understand that building materials may sometimes not be delivered to a warehouse with a dock but directly to job sites, where a crew and special handling equipment are utilized. With TMS, you can expect safe and reliable deliveries to job sites since we have decades of experience handling the transportation of construction materials for companies.
Building Material Supply Chain
TMS understands the transportation needs of companies in their construction supply chain through our decades of experience. This is why we provide timely and cost-effective logistics solutions that can facilitate the transportation of raw construction materials or finished products to manufacturing companies, distribution centers, warehouses, or job sites. To understand how we service each step of the supply chain, read below.
Raw Materials
Transporting raw materials requires efficiency and proper handling as these are critical components in manufacturing construction products for companies. At TMS, we offer reliable and cost-effective logistics solutions to transport raw construction materials so that your cargo reaches manufacturing companies in perfect condition.
Processing & Manufacturing
In processing & manufacturing, it is critical that raw construction materials are transported on time, as doing otherwise can delay or halt production, resulting in derailed supply-chain timelines and operations for companies. At TMS, we have the necessary experience to coordinate the transportation of building and construction materials for companies so that late deliveries do not occur.
Packaging
Timely delivery of packaging materials, such as corrugated boxes or custom crating, is necessary to keep the supply chain moving smoothly. With TMS, you can rely on us to transport your cargo on time because we deliver directly to manufacturing facilities and we have a network of over 20,000 experienced and licensed carriers.

Services We Offer
We offer a wide array of transportation solutions that would help drive your business forward from start to finish. We are able to provide this by creating an infrastructure that could offer cost-effective services while delivering cargo on-time and damage-free.
Full Truck Load
Full truck load (FTL) lets you have a dedicated truck, which results in your shipment being delivered faster at a better rate. This is a suitable transportation solution for cargo that can fill a truck so that you can maximize the value of the shipping cost. Additionally, this service can increase the safety of your cargo as it is handled less mid-transit. At TMS, our full truck load service uses our network of experienced carriers who can accommodate large capacities. To find more information about our FTL service, click learn more.
Intermodal
Intermodal is an affordable transportation solution that involves the use of rail, trucks, and/or ships. Because this service uses the railway, it is less costly to execute, which means cost savings for you. This service also uses intermodal containers that are easily transferrable from mode to mode, resulting in less cargo handling and increased safety. At TMS, our intermodal service can service the US, Canada, and Mexico through our network of intermodal providers. To find more information about intermodal, click learn more.
Less-Than-Truckload
Less-than-truckload (LTL) is a transportation solution that allows you to ship smaller loads of freight at a reasonable price. This service combines shipments from multiple vendors to spread the cost of a whole truck load. This allows you to pay only for the space your shipment is occupying while letting you ship more frequently as needed. At TMS, our LTL service provides multiple carrier and service options, so you can choose the option that best fits your cargo needs. To find more info about our LTL service, click learn more.
LTL-Consolidations
LTL-Consolidation is an affordable and safer transportation solution for LTL and Volume-LTL. This service combines shipments from multiple companies that are moving towards a similar destination. Because the shipments are consolidated in a facility and loaded onto an over-the-road truck, there is no handling mid-transit, which results in a safer alternative to LTL. At TMS, our LTL-consolidation service can deliver from South Florida to all points in the United States. To find more info about LTL-consolidation, click learn more.
