OUR HISTORY
No one said it would be easy. It was 2006. We had to deal with a Great Recession and a competitive logistics market. But we thought we had the drive to make it work.
So we set out to be different. Better.
We already knew we had great service. But we also knew we had to treat carriers better. So we did, and it paid off. While other companies were going bankrupt, we grew. The economy was down, we only had 3 employees, and we were the latest start-up. Still, we flourished.
The RTS philosophy was one customers and carriers could get behind. Over and over, we were chosen not just because we understood logistics, but because we understood people. We built and fostered what have become long-term relationships.
We’ve come a long way since that garage. Over 60,000 square feet, in fact. Can your brother’s rock band say that?
Apple, Google, Amazon, Harley Davidson, your brother’s rock band…what do all these have in common? They all got their starts in garages. And RTS, like them, began in a garage (what better place to start a transportation company than where the vehicles are?)
IN OUR COMMUNITIES
Work hard, volunteer hard…or, wait, is that the saying? It’s true for us at RTS. We know our success depends on healthy and thriving communities, and we want to do our part fostering success where we live and work. We sponsor and assist with projects for local non-profits and community organizations that are helping to make our communities better places to live, and we participate in 5K events, parades, youth fundraisers, and activities with several local schools, all because we’re driven to provide the best future possible for our community.
RTS has been a tremendous blessing to Georgetown Schools through generous donations and volunteer support.
