Trans-Overseas Corporation was founded as a U.S. Customs Broker on September 1, 1978, following the license approval by the U.S. Treasury Department, Bureau of Customs. The initial operation of the company was focused on providing its valued customers with a high standard of import services, which led to the rapid growth of the company.
Their first expansion occurred in 1980 when a license was acquired from IATA to export airfreight shipments and this was soon followed by approval from the Federal Maritime Commission to become a foreign freight forwarder.
To accommodate their commitment to exceed the service needs of their clientele and allow for future growth, a new facility was built in 1985 to house their operations on 10 acres of land near Detroit Metro Airport.
In addition to their Customs brokerage, freight forwarding and warehousing services, Trans-Overseas Corporation is a Customs bonded carrier and offers a myriad of transportation services from hotshot expedites, flatbed shipments of every shape, size and specialty, Truckload and LTL dry van shipments and drayage/intermodal services, not just in Southeast Michigan but to and from points all across North America and every point in between.
In 2013, the U.S. Department of Transportation approved their Motor Carrier License, allowing them to begin providing Third-Party Logistics services to their customers. This finally enabled them to become a complete in-house service provider and provide a high standard of service across all domains of the supply chain.
Trans-Overseas Corporation is proud to be an employee-owned company, and they welcome the opportunity to handle all of your logistics needs.
