New Blog - Same Company...

Welcome to the "New" Blog of TALTOA. If you've been keeping up with us over the years you know that we have had a Blog from almost day one. You may be asking, what's this? Well to explain in detail would require us to write a book so to keep a long story short we wanted to have our Blog under the same name of our main company, TALTOA.

If you noticed our original Blog was under the name of FBT 101 which is the freight broker division of TALTOA. However if you read the post's you will see that they cover more than just being or becoming a freight broker. In order to bring everything home, so-to-speak, we have created our "New" Blog under the TALTOA heading. If you're new to our Blog you can click the "Original Blog" link and read all of our post's from day 1.

If you're familiar with TALTOA then you know who we are and what we do. For those of you that are new to TALTOA, we are a transportation and logistics training and consulting company based in Fort Smith, Ar. Our origins date to the early 90's when we were just a freight brokerage. At that time we had more accounts than we could service and we needed agents. The problem was that we needed agents that would service our clients the way our clients had come to expect from our brokerage.

We chose to bring in agents that had little to no transportation experience. This way we knew we could train them in the skills and techniques that had made us successful. No easy task to do all of this while still servicing our clients. To achieve the success with our training program we needed a manual, hence the Freight Broker Training 101 Manual. Next we needed a type of curriculum in order to take our new agents through our training program. Although we didn't know it at the time, these were the first Freight Broker Training Workshops.

After much success someone joked one day that we should bottle our program and distribute it, and that's basically what we did. Over the years there have been changes such as new products and services, new areas of expertise were added to our consulting packages so that name Freight Broker Training 101 didn't quite define us correctly. It was obvious that we were a full service transportation and logistics training and consulting company.

After much talk and thought TALTOA was created to house all of our services. The name TALTOA was originally an abbreviation for Transportation and Logistics Training of America. Now it's just TALTOA because we offer so much more than just training. We have Manuals, Directories, Web Design, Consulting, Software, and Subscription Services with more tools/services being added on a regular basis.

Over the years we have consulted hundreds of transportation companies, trained thousands of transportation professionals, provided services to scores of individuals wishing to enter or further their transportation career.

Our success have been our clients success. From a freight broker agent contracting our services and with-in 45 days earning as much as $1,000.00 per week. The new freight brokerage that contracted TALTOA for 15 months to consult them in their start-up and day-to-day operations that was able to move 2000 loads in less than a year, their first year!

From the transporter that wanted to transport RV's that now owns his own transportation company, from the trucking company that needed a new source of revenue that contracted us to assist them with their brokerage. The former NFL cornerback that contracted TALTOA to assist him with his role in the trucking company he was investing in.

Although we can't guarantee anyone’s success, we can guarantee that your chance of success is greatly improved by having TALTOA as part of your team! We have a history of success and that's why so many have chose us to assist them when needed.

So, although a new Blog.... we're still the same company --- TALTOA!
