Specialized bulk transportation, personally coordinated

PTC connects shippers with carriers positioned for their specialized product and lane, with personal coordination from inquiry through planning.

Each shipment begins with the operating details that matter: product, equipment, origin, destination, timing and facility requirements. Our carrier-network model gives shippers one relationship across a broad range of bulk transportation needs.

Find the right liquid bulk service

Start with your product, then share the lane and timing. Explore chemical liquids, liquid fertilizer and food-grade transportation, or discuss a recurring bulk program with a coordinator.

From inquiry to a coordinated plan

  1. You send the details

    Product, lane, volume and timing — as much as you have.

  2. A coordinator reviews it

    A person reads it and asks anything that is unclear.

  3. We check carrier fit

    Equipment, authority and operating area for your lane.

  4. We outline the path

    You receive a clear response about what can be coordinated. Nothing moves until you approve.

The value of a dedicated coordinator

  • Since 1999

    More than two decades coordinating bulk freight, built on repeat relationships rather than volume targets.

  • A person, not a portal

    You get a named coordinator who knows the product and the lane. Questions get answered by the person handling the freight.

  • Clear communication

    Requirements and carrier fit are reviewed before commitments are made.

Plan your next shipping lane

PTC coordinates through an established carrier network across Contiguous 48 United States, Canada, and Mexicali, Mexico. Product, equipment, timing and lane feasibility are confirmed for each inquiry.

Common questions

Does PTC own its own trucks and tankers?
No. PTC is a bulk freight coordinator. We place loads with carriers in our network whose equipment, authority and operating area fit the work.
What does PTC need to quote a bulk shipment?
Product, origin and destination, quantity per load, timing, and whether the movement is one-time or repeating. Partial details are fine — a coordinator will follow up on what is missing.
Can I get an instant online price?
No. We do not generate automatic freight prices. A person reviews each inquiry so the answer reflects the actual equipment and lane.
Where does PTC coordinate freight?
The contiguous 48 United States, Canada, and Mexicali, Mexico. Lanes outside those areas are reviewed case by case.
How do I invite PTC into a bid?
Use the bid invitation page. Send the scope, regions, estimated volume and the deadline with its time zone so we can work to your procurement timeline.
