Target Logistics Services partners with Canadian firm

Target Logistics Services partners with Canadian firm Target Logistic Services and Sameday Right-O-Way, a Canadian transportation firm, said this week they have formed a strategic partnership to move surface and air cargo between the two countries.
   To be operated under the name Target Logistics Canada, the partnership will meld the two firms' air and surface cargo organizations.
   Carson, Calif.-based Target, which has seen rapid expansion, expects 2007 revenue of nearly $200 million. The firm operates offices in the United States and provides scheduled surface and air transport from any point in the United States to any destination in Canada.
   Sameday Right-O-Way, a subsidiary of Canadian trucking firm Day & Ross, has 36 offices in Canada.
   Coordinated under Target’s TRACS network, the two firms have completed integration of their EDI systems providing real-time shipment control.
   “Using our key hub locations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Newark, Dallas, Chicago and Atlanta, we are offering extensive LTL (less-than-truckload) and trailerload capabilities to transborder customers,” said Chris Coppersmith, president and chief executive officer at Target Logistics Services.
