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!

The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) released the following statement following the U.S. Senate’s passage of TIA’s priority legislation, S.2322, the “C-TPAT Pilot Program Act of 2021,” the bill was approved with overwhelming bipartisan support and now goes to the House of Representatives for further action.

The most recent 3PL Market Report reflects that we are now in the second consecutive quarter of slow growth in freight.

The report shows that for Q122, total revenue and invoice amount per shipment improved by 3.2% and 3.7%; however, total shipments declined .5% compared to Q421.

"The first quarter reveals that freight volumes are not achieving the dizzying heights of the last two years. However, it’s important to note that volumes remain elevated, and the marketplace continues to be strong, said TIA President & CEO Anne Reinke. “TIA members continue to be well-positioned to handle the freight and help to unwind the persistent clogs in the supply chain.” Reinke said.
