Kansas City, MO (Mar 17, 2009) –The Kansas City Transportation Association (KCTA) recognized Ray Taylor of Evans Delivery Company as the “Person of the Year” at its annual Industry Day Expo.


The award recognizes the best overall leader of a company and a person who significantly impacted the transportation industry, according to the KCTA. The expo was held at Harrah’s Convention Center with more than 50 exhibitors.


“I quickly learned early in my career that you’ve got to be willing to do whatever is required to take care of your customers and employees,” said Ray Taylor, Vice President and General Manager of CTW and Intermodal Agent for Evans Delivery. “There were many times I would make a delivery or pick-up for a customer if we were short on drivers or we were just too busy. You must be willing to go beyond for customer satisfaction,” he continued. Ray has been with CTW for 10 years.


In December 2008, CTW’s Intermodal Business Unit became the agent for Evans Delivery, a market-leading transportation and logistics provider. Evans Network has 80 service centers across the U.S.


The company has agreements with all railroads in Kansas City to provide container drayage services at various rail ramps. Additional service offerings include warehousing, distribution, and transloading with the ability to ship and receive by rail. This service center also offers full truckload service with vans, flatbeds and heavy-hauling equipment.


Ray started in the logistics industry with the Army, driving 2 ½ ton trucks and semis pulling 5,000 gallon tankers. After active duty he was a driver for UPS. “Little did I know way back then that I would migrate through many other forms of transportation and warehousing to running a company that provides a diversified menu of logistic services,” said Ray Taylor.


Ray is married to wife, Marcia, who is a registered nurse at Providence Hospital and they have four children.

Trade Tech, Inc. Launches CEO Blog for the Transportation Industry

Trade Tech, Inc. Launches CEO Blog for the Transportation Industry

A Clearinghouse for Innovation and Thought Leadership in the International Trade Community


BELLEVUE, Washington – March 17, 2009 – Trade Tech, a major supplier of web-based supply chain and transportation applications and service solutions, announced today that it has launched a blog to serve as a new interactive online community for professionals in the international logistics and shipping industry. The blog, hosted at http://www.tradetech.net/blog/, is part of an all-new online presence that Trade Tech will be rolling out in the coming weeks. The blog is hosted by company CEO Bryn Heimbeck, a twenty-year veteran of the industry, with occasional commentary from other Trade Tech executives.


In addition to commentary on such timely issues as the Importer Security Filing (10+2) regulations and the intricacies of international logistics, the blog features links to major industry publications, current news items related to the industry, and space for reader commentary. Heimbeck aims to establish the Trade Tech CEO Blog as a leading voice in the international logistics trade and a space for all members of the trade community to interact with one another.

“We’ve walked into a new paradigm for the international trade community with respect to the Internet,” said Heimbeck. “The Internet can be exploited at a huge level in our industry, both for linking all members of the supply chain, and for the lively exchange of ideas about where to take the industry next. I want to talk about those issues and ideas that we’re working on at Trade Tech about workflow and collaboration that spans multiple continents.”


“The goal is to have our truckers, our shippers, our brokers and everyone in the trade community online with us,” noted Heimbeck. “Collaboration on both sides of the ocean ought to be the norm in the next decade, not an elusive concept. The blog will be a clearinghouse for these ideas as we’re advancing the industry. We’ll be running through case studies and in-house deployments of new software and full-service products intended to link the entire world trade community. We’re hoping to get feedback from a host of people in the trade.”Heimbeck, who has more than 20 years of experience in the transportation and logistics field, began his career working for OOCL based in Chicago and later transferred to the logistics side of the business where he was in charge of the trans-Pacific Eastbound services for Fritz Company’s NVOCC division. Bryn credits much of the volume growth during his tenure at Fritz to the implementation of systems that facilitated information flow during a tumultuous period in the transportation market. Over time, it became more and more evident to Bryn that comprehensive I.T. applications were fundamental to the growth of both logistics companies and their customers. He founded Trade Tech with fellow technology innovator Kevin Clark to build and deliver these applications via the Internet.About Trade Tech:

FRANK J. WALSH, NRS CHAIRMAN, DECEASED, AGE 62

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ (March 10, 2009) – National Retail Systems, Inc. (NRS), a leading provider of global logistics services to America’s retailers, today announced that Chairman Frank J. Walsh, a logistics industry pioneer and generous humanitarian, died on February 25 of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was 62 years old. A funeral mass attended by more than 1,000 friends, family and business associates was held in Newark, N.J., at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart to commemorate the passing of a man the presiding monsignor called “larger than life.”


Mr. Walsh took the trucking company started by his father in 1953 and built it into one of the most successful privately held third-party contract logistics companies in the world.


In the early days, Walsh Trucking operated a handful of trucks serving what was then the bustling New York City garment district, which supplied almost all of the merchandise sold in stores prospering in a burgeoning midtown Manhattan retail scene. In 2009, NRS is comprised of 12 operating units, including a joint venture with China’s largest logistics company Sinotrans. NRS moved more than 1 billion pounds of consumer products through its network last year.


That success is based on the vision, courage and decisiveness Frank Walsh demonstrated throughout his entire professional career, particularly in the 1970s and 80s during the early development stages of the U.S. logistics industry.


As offshore sourcing took hold in Asia 25 years ago, Frank Walsh led NRS as it established distribution operations on the West Coast next to the Port of Los Angeles. A national network of logistics assets began to take shape focused on one goal backed by Frank’s unwavering vision — to provide the highest quality, most efficient logistics services to leading U.S. retailers and consumer goods manufacturers.


In the late 80s, Frank and NRS helped lead the way with other retailers in developing a new form of communication called Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). A small innovation in the 1990s called the Internet would take the concept of connectivity to another level. Frank Walsh and NRS were there to lead again with some of the first web-based logistics visibility and optimization tools in the industry.


Frank Walsh was known as a risk taker and a fierce negotiator. If he set his mind to accomplishing something, he rarely failed.


In his private life, he was the benefactor of many causes. Frank Walsh was a member of the board of directors of the Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center and past president of the Lions Club. He contributed to and actively supported the Audubon Society, the Holocaust Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, Whitney Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. A graduate of Dickinson High School in Jersey City, Mr. Walsh established a scholarship program there in his father’s name that for the past 30 years has contributed to the continuing education of many deserving students. There is a scholarship in Frank’s name at Farleigh Dickinson University celebrating family business and entrepreneurship, his two favorite endeavors. Throughout his life he was a generous contributor to those less fortunate than he. Among his many charitable endeavors, Mr. Walsh established an annual Christmas toy drive for children in Appalachia. He was a major contributor to numerous Catholic charities and to the tree-planting program in Israel. In addition he received special recognition for his support of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.


Frank Walsh, his friends remarked at his funeral, never said good bye. He only said, “if you need anything, call me.” He was fortunate to enjoy a long marriage to Donna, his wife of 44 years. They had three children and took great pride in their eight grandchildren.

Evans Network Launches ECO-Match™ Green Initiative

Schuylkill Haven, PA (Mar. 12, 2009) – An industry-wide environmental initiative, Export Coordination/ Optimization-Match (ECO-Match™) has been launched by Evans Network of Companies. The goal of the program is to make more productive use of resources by matching up to 75 percent of import and export shipments handled by Evans Network. The company has discussed the program with numerous importers, exporters, steamship lines, third party logistics providers, port organization and community groups.


“As an example, by matching just 20 percent of container movements at the Ports of Virginia, the ECO-Match initiative has the potential to save 73.6 million lbs of CO2 annually,” said Mr. Albert “Bert” Evans, Jr., President and CEO of Evans Network, a market-leading transportation and logistics provider.


“We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint. ECO-Match is good for the environment and benefits shippers and drivers as well,” said Mr. Evans. Load-matching is the ideal situation for a trucker because it pays more by creating a “street turn”— allowing the driver to drop off and pick up in the same trip, operating under load in both directions with a retro-fitted “green” truck. Load-matching improves air quality and reduces congestion at the ports and on the highways by making more productive and efficient use of resources.


“The primary benefit for shippers and steamship lines is the cost savings by using one truck rather than two,” said Mr. Gerard J. Coyle, Vice President, Marketing and Agent Development for Evans Network. “It’s a more complex problem than it appears on the surface because there are a number of important issues to consider, such as equipment compatibility, timing schedules, geography, and technology,” Mr. Coyle continued.


Mr. Coyle was responsible for researching and developing the potential CO2 savings for shippers, steamship lines, third-party logistics providers and port representatives. Mr. Evans initiated the load-matching concept with Evans’s agent partner, Keith Walborn of Camp Hill, PA.


Evans Delivery Company, Inc. is a certified transport partner in the Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay Transport Program. Evans is ranked with the highest possible score of 1.25, representing outstanding environmental performance according to the EPA.

Hampshire Constabulary Selects APD’s Co-ordinator Control Room System to Increase Officer Efficiency

Software update will help drive force efficiencies and introduce new vehicle tracking functionality


Milton Keynes, UK – 10th March, - APD Communications announced today that Hampshire Constabulary is trialling its new Co-Ordinator 7 fleet location management system in the force’s Netley control room near Southampton. The deployment will enable control room operators to better support the 3,800 police officers and 500 special constables responsible for the safety of 750,000 households in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.


The deployment at the heart of the Hampshire control room will allow operators to assign the most appropriate resource to an incident to improve efficiency and reduce officer response times. The system will ensure optimum use of police resources, preventing over deployment of vehicles and officers at incident which in turn will lead to an increase in visibility of officers in the community.


Co-Ordinator 7 will also provide the Hampshire Constabulary management team with comprehensive reporting such as details of where officers have been, vehicle speed, direction of travel and blue light usage. Control room staff can access a range of information from officers on the move via 800 INCA in-vehicle data communications units deployed within the force’s vehicle fleet.


Hampshire Constabulary currently relies on APD’s Co-Ordinator 6 to manage its officers. Once fully deployed, the new version will provide control room staff with a superior map client that allows multiple maps to be loaded simultaneously helping staff to respond more quickly to incidents. Geo-fences may be used in-vehicle to ensure that officers stay within approved geographical areas, allowing short term targeted monitoring. Vehicle journeys can also be replayed at any time to assist with post-incident analysis.


“Hampshire Constabulary has been a long term customer of APD. The constabulary required a futureproof technology that could allow the force to expand and support multi-site operations as required. This flexibility combined with our market knowledge and technical expertise ensures that the Constabulary has a control room solution that provides its offers with the best support possible in the most efficient way,” said Steve Denison, Managing Director of APD Communications.
