Did You Know that the TIA 3PL Market Report covering Q421 is available now? The most recent 3PL Market Report reflects that we are now in the seventh quarter of the most substantial surge in goods consumption in recent history. By now, the boom has reached a plateau with reductions in Q421. Is this the inevitable fallback from this unsustainable boom or just a pause? For Q421, the report shows that the invoice amount per shipment, total shipments, and total revenue improved by 7%, 3%, and 10% respectively compared to Q321. Subscribe today!

POWERED BY:

TIA Call to Action: TIA Members, as you know over the last year and a half we have been working diligently on your behalf to include DOT licensed property brokers in the C-TPAT program, a public/private partnership focused on hardening the supply chain. Department of Homeland Security’s decision more than 10 years ago to exclude you from C-TPAT has cost you all countless business opportunities.

We have legislation to start to fix this. S.2322 in the Senate and H.R. 6826 in the House of Representatives will allow 10 TIA members to be included in this program through a pilot program. This starts the process of opening up C-TPAT to any 3PL who would like to join.

Use this link, with a pre-written note, to call on your elected leaders to co-sponsor and support S.2322 and H.R 6826.

Write to your elected leaders today!
