TST Logistics, Inc. (originally named Torque Storage Trailers, Inc.) was established in December 1985 as a storage and road trailer rental company by John E. Harris, Jr. and James C. Hunnicutt. From the beginning, the founders instilled the importance of servicing our customers while exhibiting the principles of honesty and integrity.
Building upon Mr. Harris’ 30+ years of experience in the trucking industry, TST Logistics, Inc. applied for and was granted authority to engage in transportation as a common and contract carrier on May 25, 1989. Concurrent with the inception of our trucking operation, we initiated our consolidation and distribution warehousing services. Since the addition of these two operations, we have experienced consistent, controlled growth.

WAREHOUSING
There is a common misconception about warehousing that assumes there’s little more to it than keeping a roof standing over some goods for a period of time.
But those in the logistics business understand that there’s a lot more to storing and moving millions of items out of multiple storage locations year after year. Managing inventory in a warehousing operation is both an art and a science.
That’s why so many customers trust TST Logistics warehousing services. Through just-in-time delivery combining our storage and supply capacities, we can help you avoid costly on-site storage for both retail and manufacturing purposes.
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
You have the right to receive an estimate based on a physical (in-house) survey of your
shipment. Under the regulations, your mover must base your estimate (either binding,
non-binding, or not-to-exceed), on a physical survey of the household goods to be moved if
the goods are located with a 50-mile radius of your mover’s (or his agent’s) place of business.
You may elect to waive this requirement for a physical survey, but if you elect to do so,
you must sign a written waiver of your rights.
