We have just updated the Member Resource Library, with a new section devoted exclusively to whitepapers TIA has produced over the years.

The Member Resource Library also includes a collection of guidelines and frameworks, contracts, legal cases, and other resources to provide TIA Members with a knowledge bank for 3PL success.
