MEMO FOR: Whom it Concerns.

SUBJECT: Memorandum of Recommendation – Transportation Logistics Systems

I have employed the services of Transportation Logistics Systems (TLS) for two years to handle all of my inbound freight shipments. The performance of this company has been consistently outstanding in all respects. We at Magna Steyr feel that TLS is an integral part of our team and hope to work with them well into the future.

Leadership is a key ingredient in any company’s success; Melody Warren provides strong leadership for TLS and has a clear vision of how to provide outstanding customer service. Melody has worked closely with my team to develop a seamless logistics system to support our automotive business. I can always count on her to respond to changes in our requirements and provide prompt responses to any request for information.

Melody has an outstanding team of professionals in Norma, Don and Janice. I can count on any of them to help me out in any type of crisis – which seem to occur on an almost daily basis in this industry. This team provides outstanding, 24 hour coverage, and can handle any type of requirement from expedites to truckloads. I merely have to tell them what I need and they will take care of the how.

TLS provides a full range of Logistics services at rates that are extremely competitive. Our 100 million per year company has realized great savings by using TLS instead of an in house Traffic Dept. They can, quite simply, do it all when it comes to Logistics!
