NT Logistics

27 years of optimizing shippers’ distribution.

NT Logistics has arranged transportation since 1999, on the back of a trucking company that started eleven years before that. Six offices from Arizona to Michigan run truckload, refrigerated, dedicated, intermodal and specialized freight for food, beverage, dairy and CPG shippers.

Eleven customer service awards from one account.

One of the country’s largest bottled water companies gives a Customer Service Excellence Award to the carrier partners in its Southwest Region. NT has won it 11 times in the award’s 13 years, nine of them in a row, first from Nestlé Waters North America and then from BlueTriton Brands after the name change.

The account has run through NT’s brokerage team since the mid-2000s, and the award goes to the people who run it day to day.

Year after year we can rely on NT Logistics to be a carrier partner that we depend upon. Josh Bach · Transportation Supervisor, BlueTriton Brands, Southwest Region

How we got here.

From one trucking company in 1988 to six offices from Arizona to Michigan. Milestones with a story behind them link to it.

The analysts who find the savings are the ones who go run the route.

NTelligence rebuilds your shipment history into the network you operate today, down to what one customer costs you per case. We built it for the routing desk in this room and kept it there. You get the findings and a walkthrough. There is no login and no seat license.

Our analysts sit down the hall from the dispatchers. When a recommendation turns out to be hard to run on a Tuesday, they hear about it that week.

NT has hosted UNT logistics interns for more than twenty years, and many of them stayed on full time.

How We Help
Analysts in front of a wall of six dashboard screens

Who runs your freight.

Your account gets a team for each part of the job: people who book and track the loads, people who find the trucks, analysts who price the network, and a service desk that answers when something goes wrong. The founder and the president have run the company together since 1999.

Culture

Chicken Wednesday.

In NT’s early days lunch meant pooling a few bucks. Every Wednesday, like clockwork, Bob wanted fried chicken, and Elaine made the run. It didn’t take long for the day to get its name.

It’s an institution now. On the first Wednesday of every month NT caters fried chicken for the whole team, at no cost to them, because they’re the ones who deliver the service. It’s also open house: Frisco firefighters, UNT board members, NT retirees and customers all turn up, so there’s always a new face at the table.

Guests used to go home with the Chicken Wednesday shirt and its “Top Ten Reasons to be Associated with NT Logistics.” Number one was Chicken Wednesday. A new version of the shirt keeps the tradition going, and customers and friends are always invited. Come hungry.
