OEM Parts Delivery
For more than 30 years, CDS has served the automotive industry by transporting new car replacement parts from manufacturers to dealers in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Since 1978, TCI Transportation has provided a variety of services and now consists of a large network of partners and customers across the U.S. Given that CDS is an expert in the pickup and delivery of parts and TCI is a leader in all facets of the trucking industry, this merger comes naturally.
From Manufacturers to Dealers
CDS has always been a niche carrier, focused solely on efficiently delivering new car replacement parts from manufacturers to dealers within dedicated service areas. In fact, CDS was the pioneer of the shared delivery system and has been providing this service for more than thirty years. For safety and speed, all trailers are lift gate equipped to ensure timely deliveries even to dealers that don’t have a dock receiving area.
OEM Parts Delivered 24/7
Unlike aftermarket parts that may vary in quality and functionality, OEM parts are designed with the same expertise as the original parts, which is why dealers prefer them. Because CDS works directly with manufacturers, dealers can count on OEM parts being delivered quickly. With CDS, you will have peace of mind knowing items can be delivered to your door 24/7, when and where you need them.
Dedicated and Shared-Dedicated Routes
We are continuously expanding our areas of service across the country while leveraging our extensive industry-leading experience at all our locations. CDS initially established itself as a regional carrier serving a focused area in the Western US, including California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, and has since become an industry leader by offering a combination of dedicated and shared-dedicated routes that are expanding nationally. Through this approach, our drivers have become well-acclimated to schedules, weather, and other variables, ensuring consistent and reliable deliveries from coast to coast.
Just-In-Time Delivery Coast-to-Coast
Our “Just in time” delivery service means that you can keep minimal on-hand inventory, freeing up space and reducing costs. Instead, let us deliver the types and quantities of auto parts exactly when you need them. A vast amount of our deliveries are done after hours, meaning your labor costs are reduced as well. Our expert drivers do not require delivery assistance, and, with our lift-gate-equipped trailers, we’ll get the job done with or without a high dock receiving area.
Efficient and Accurate Scanning Capabilities
Our logistics system is equipped with the capability to scan all freight and assets at PDCs, ensuring full visibility from the point of pickup through cross-docking, transit, and final delivery destinations. Additionally, we can provide clear pictures of the delivered freight at the facilities, adding an extra layer of transparency and accountability to our services. With this level of tracking and documentation, we can ensure that our clients receive their shipments with utmost accuracy and reliability.
Cross-Dock Operations for Streamlined Deliveries
We have optimized our cross-dock operations by utilizing staging areas, where inbound materials from PDCs are sorted, consolidated, and reloaded for shipment to the final mile customer destination. By streamlining this process, we are able to reduce handling and transit times, resulting in faster and more efficient deliveries. Our team of experienced professionals oversees the entire process, ensuring that each shipment is handled with care and precision. With our optimized cross-docking operations, we can offer our clients a seamless and reliable supply chain solution that meets their delivery requirements while minimizing cost and maximizing efficiency.
“CDS brings excellence in auto parts consolidation and distribution. TCI brings world-class safety, maintenance, recruiting, and back office support – extending our auto parts distribution services to additional shippers while expanding our footprint into more of the regions TCI currently operates in.”
