Our story.
CTE Logistics was built on a Commitment to Excellence in both client service, and in how we take care of our team. Today, that belief is stronger than ever.
As a privately held, family-owned company, we don't answer to shareholders. We answer to our clients and our team. That’s the difference. And it’s why we practice reciprocity every day. It needs to make sense for you, and it needs to make sense for us. It’s that simple.
Radical accountability is what we wake up for every day at CTE. We believe when honesty and transparency are part of everyday operations, responsibility is easy. We always own our actions. In our opinion, there’s absolutely nothing better than the satisfaction of a fun, productive, and purposeful day; we LOVE solving your complex supply chain challenges. We also LOVE watching our team grow and succeed.
If you are looking to partner with a company that is excited to help you grow your business in a strategic, efficient and transparent way – then we look forward to working with you!
Excellence is our way of life.
Work
Our effort is obvious.
We are a team of passionate performers using work as a vehicle to attract other passionate performers. We take the responsibility of caring and transporting our clients' products as if they were our own. Hard work is our privilege. Working hard is the scaffolding to the way we do things around here to create and sustain excellence. But it's less about endless hours clocked and more about being as efficient as possible. Because of our commitment to hard work, we pay attention to the details, take time to ask important questions and most importantly, we tell the truth. Our effort is obvious.
Team
We are building this together.
Every individual at CTE brings their own unique way of seeing and being in the world - and when all of those unique abilities come together to accomplish one goal - the results are amazing! When we can work independently, but in a way that complements each other, we operate from a place of wisdom that each skill set has a necessary place at CTE. When these unique skills, perspectives and experiences come together, we create the best experiences for our clients. Everyone is invited to ride each new level of success. We are building this together.
Humanity
There is no need to be an asshole.
In a fast-paced, reactionary industry, it is critical our team responds to any situation with a sense of calm. This spirit honors the humans who are impacted by every decision, process, procedure and result. Our belief is in humanity and our standard is that there is no need to be an asshole. Because there is not. There never is. We are all in this together and treating each other with kindness and respect will always get us where we need to go faster.
Honesty
See it Own It Handle it.
At the core of honesty is simply efficiency. When we are honest with ourselves, our Team, our clients - everything is better. The whole process moves along more quickly and instead of delaying the inevitable - work begins immediately on solving the problem and improving the process. When a mistake is made or a misunderstanding comes to surface, honest conversations can happen and the sooner we can all get to work on a solution.
Reciprocity
Partners {give a} ship.
We believe our existence is a two-way street. A partnership. We strive to be an extension of our clients' organizations, a responsibility we take on fully and responsibly. For us, this means tailoring our service to the needs of the client, not forcing our clients to fit into our mold. We believe that when a client makes a financial investment in choosing CTE - the value they receive should very well exceed their expectations. When our clients tell us the value they receive from us far exceeds the cost you pay, we know we're practicing reciprocity.
