This new alliance will strengthen the 3PL's North American client base and permit CPA's legacy clients to have access to Transportation Insight's broad array of service and technology offerings. CPA will operate as a new division of Transportation Insight, and CPA head executive Bill Titone will serve as President of this division.

Transportation Insight's Chairman and Founder Paul Thompson says the companies share a common culture focused on continuous improvement and unsurpassed client satisfaction. "We are delighted to welcome CPA International to the Transportation Insight team," says Thompson. "Bill is a long-time leader in the logistics industry, and our shared values and commitment to client service makes this partnership a win-win-win."

By aligning with Transportation Insight, which has been recognized by Inbound Logistics Magazine as one of the country's Top 100 3PLs, Titone says the benefit to clients will be long-term, high-quality service to meet their expanding needs. "Transportation Insight is one of the highest integrity companies in our market today," says Titone. "CPA's clients will be well-served by this partnership."

Transportation Insight is headquartered in Hickory, North Carolina with secondary offices in Charlotte, North Carolina; Bentonville, Arkansas; and 40 sales and client support offices across North America.

Transportation Insight's purchase of CPA marks its first acquisition of a logistics company.
