What truck transportation services, l.l.c. does

Truck Transportation Services, LLC (TTS) is a privately held freight brokerage founded in 1996 and headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon. The company arranges truckload and less-than-truckload transportation across the 48 contiguous United States, specializing in temperature-controlled produce, nursery stock, frozen goods, and dry freight. Its primary customers are growers, shippers, and distributors of perishable commodities — particularly on the West Coast (Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona) — with a brokerage model that matches shipper demand to a network of asset-based carriers and owner-operators. The company generates revenue through transaction fees on arranged freight, with payment terms (30-day, 15-day, quick pay) made available to carriers upon receipt of clean Bills of Lading.

TTS operates a small broker team of approximately eight to ten personnel, including President Cory Kinnaman (a broker since 2001), Sales Manager and Nursery Specialist Dale Parra, and several additional brokers with deep vertical and lane expertise. Ownership resides with Cory and Corinne Kinnaman, who assumed control in 2018 following the passing of founders John and Wendy Rozycki. The company has remained bootstrapped with no external funding and is structured as a family-operated business rather than a growth-stage venture.

The technology backbone is a proprietary transportation management system (TMS) with third-party integration that the company states has been refined over 24 years of operation, providing competitive pricing intelligence and the basis for a real-time Track and Trace offering on all shipments. TTS also leverages the Xpresstrax loadboard for carrier self-service load matching, enabling carriers to search available freight by origin, destination, equipment type, and radius. Distribution is conducted primarily through direct phone-based sales (800-632-0228) and an online carrier onboarding portal, with brand presence supported by Facebook and Twitter, EPA SmartWay certification, and TIA membership. The Produce Blue Book has recognized the firm for exceptional trading performance since 1998, anchoring its credibility within the produce vertical.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Coyote Logistics: UPS-owned large-scale freight brokerage with TL, LTL, intermodal, and refrigerated capacity; comparable in service breadth but operates at a national scale that dwarfs TTS.
• Echo Global Logistics: Large publicly-traded (formerly) freight brokerage offering TL, LTL, and managed transportation across all verticals including produce; comparable service portfolio but at materially greater scale and broader customer reach.

Direct peers

• Allen Lund Company: Family-owned West Coast freight brokerage with deep produce and perishable expertise — the closest direct comparable to TTS in vertical focus, customer mix (produce shippers), and operating model. Serves as the natural benchmark for TTS's niche positioning and scale ceiling.
• A. Duie Pyle: Northeast-focused asset-based and brokerage provider with refrigerated capabilities; partially comparable on cold-chain expertise though its asset-based model differs from TTS's pure brokerage approach.
• BlueGrace Logistics: Non-asset freight brokerage offering TL, LTL, and managed transportation with a tech-enabled platform (similar in Xpresstrax-style loadboard usage); comparable on business model and SMB-to-mid-market shipper focus.
• Keystone Freight Corp. National non-asset freight brokerage handling truckload and LTL across multiple verticals including produce and refrigerated freight; comparable to TTS in business model and customer/shipper profile.
• Worldwide Express: Mid-market-focused freight brokerage and logistics provider with strong LTL and TL capabilities; comparable in customer type (small-to-mid shippers) and product breadth though materially larger.
• Western Logistics, Inc. Non-asset refrigerated and dry freight broker with significant West Coast presence; comparable to TTS in service mix (refrigerated TL/LTL) and carrier-brokerage model.
• Trinity Logistics: Asset-light freight brokerage and 3PL offering TL, LTL, and refrigerated services to a similar mid-market shipper base; directly comparable in service portfolio and brokerage economics.

Emerging players

• Uber Freight: Digital-first freight brokerage leveraging Uber's technology platform to automate TL pricing, carrier matching, and booking; not directly comparable on customer base today, but represents the structural competitive threat to traditional brokerages like TTS in refrigerated and dry TL lanes.
