For Immediate Release
JANUARY 31, 2020 – ALEXANDRIA, VA – The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA), the voice of third-party logistics, has granted 39 logistics professionals the designation of Certified Transportation Broker (CTB) – the 3PL industry’s premier and most widely-recognized designation.
“As an HR professional working in the logistics industry, I have gained some understanding of the transportation and logistics world from my co-workers and being involved in the business,” said recent CTB graduate Erica Wertanen of Automated Logistics Systems. “However, I never had the framework from the ground up – this course grew my knowledge immensely and gave me that foundation. It has increased my confidence to engage in conversations and it has earned me additional respect from my fellow logistics team members. I am very happy that I am now certified!”
The CTB designation allows brokers to differentiate themselves within the marketplace by demonstrating core competencies in three tested sections: basic 3PL and business skills; contracts and pricing; and regulatory environment and legal issues. Individuals must take a comprehensive examination – passing all three sections to successfully earn the CTB designation.
“The Certified Broker Program allows Blakeman Staff to get the foundational/baseline knowledge to provide our client and customer base with insightful, meaningful and consultative reasoning, that is credible and sound as it pertains to their goods being moved,” said Matt Moore, General Manager, at Blakeman Transport. “The Certified Broker Program/Test is the backbone to giving our staff the expert knowledge needed to service the industry and client base with above and beyond expertise.”
