When Tonnie Thompson started working at The Shippers Group in 1974, President Richard Nixon resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Gerald Ford became POTUS. Gas was only $.55 per gallon and a dozen eggs cost $.78. That year the Miami Dolphins defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the Superbowl and The Godfather Part 2 was one of the year's most popular movies. During Tonnie's years at The Shippers Group a lot has changed but one thing that has remained consistent is Tonnie's work ethic and dedication to do his best work every day. 

The Shippers Group has been selected from among hundreds of companies who submitted credentials as one of the Top 100 3PL Providers. The Top 100 list appears in the July 2019 edition of Inbound Logistics. Criteria for selection includes geographic coverage, markets served, logistics services, warehousing services, transportation services and innovation. About being named to the Top 100 List, Rob Doyle of The Shippers Group said, “We are extremely pleased to be included among the elite 3PL providers in the Supply Chain industry. For over 118 years, our goal has been to provide the highest level of service and value to our customers.”

Associates at The Shippers Group enjoyed a company-wide celebration in recognition of their hard work based on TSG’s Core Values. Associates work hard and have time and again demonstrated the desire to do their best every day. Their work ethic translates into a culture built upon values derived from a 118 year history of doing everything possible to provide the service that TSG customers expect and deserve.

Inbound Logistics has named The Shippers Group as one of the top 75 leading company shippers can turn to when seeking green supply chain management partners, noting “Long term prospects for green operations are driven by younger consumers who are more willing to pay a premium for sustainable products.
