PTS Logistics Beats The Drum |
Bill Gerst Is Business Development Manager for PTS Logistics (PTSL) Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Wood Dale, IL (close to Chicago O’Hare Airport), what PTSL does in addition to a diversified suite of offerings for the world’s largest Indirect Air Carriers (IAC) and freight forwarders, is to provide a direct over the road connection from the U.S. heartland at the Chicago logistics community to PTSL’s Miami warehouse located near the Ronald Reagan Turnpike and Interstate 75 supporting 24-hour daily, line-haul service from Chicago (ORD) to Miami (MIA). “We are known for experience in handling cargo from ORD for Latin America destinations,” Bill declared. “PSTL builds truckloads 6 days a week, offering line-haul service, ORD-MIA-ORD that also includes refrigerated and other capabilities.” Bill said he has been on the job for 20 years and that of all the air cargo events, TIACA ACF is a fave because when it’s taking place: “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 trying to understand what everybody does and how we can all work together.” Challenges? “There are a few,” Bill revealed “A particular challenge and unique is our specialized handling of steel drums for HazMat consignments. “Across our route we are the only company that handles those drums and in fact. have specialized in their movement for years. “Steel drums used to be exempt from examination. “After that exemption was lifted by TSA, PTSL moved quickly and invested in technologies including Xray and the always faithful sniffer dogs from canine resources. “With all the bells and whistles including Rapiscan detection and total in-house control, including highly trained specialists on the ground to weigh and oversee all the processes, PTSL in 2024 offers a designated and certified cargo screening facility in MIA and ORD. “We offer forwarders and all shippers the complete menu with excellent, well-thought out and audited services. “As example, PTSL is one of the few transportation companies in Illinois that holds Good Distribution Practice (GDP). “GDP underscores that PTSL is a transportation service provider that meets the highest standards for handling pharmaceutical products.” GDA/SSA |
