“Fellow TIA Members, the Intermodal Logistics Conference established a working group for the sole purpose to build an informational platform for our members and the shipper community to help educate on charges that occur above and beyond a general transaction. Our Conference believes it is imperative to have this working knowledge of these accessorials to help better facilitate communications and transactions between the providers of freight and their valued customers,” said Shelli Austin, President of InTek Freight & Logistics, Inc. and Chairwoman of the TIA Intermodal Logistics Conference.

TIA’s Mentorship Program has been so successful that we’ve run out of mentors. We’re looking for experienced and successful brokers with some spare time each month who are willing to pass on their knowledge to the next generation of brokers.
