About TA Services
TA Services is a Mansfield, Texas-based third-party logistics provider and freight broker founded in 1986 — originally as 'Team America' to provide flatbed capacity to Chaparral Steel in Midlothian, Texas. Renamed TA Services in 1995 due to a trademark issue. Acquired by P&S Holdings in August 2014, the company is now the 3PL division of PS Logistics, LLC (Birmingham, Alabama). TA Services ranks #44 on the 2026 Transport Topics Top 100 Freight Brokerage Firms with an estimated $491M in gross brokerage revenue.
Following the P&S acquisition, TA Services has grown via its own series of acquisitions including Celadon Logistics (2019), Sellers Logistics (2019), Top Gun Freight (2020), Scout Logistics (2021), and KPI Logistics (2022). The product set covers LTL, dry van truckload, refrigerated, and flatbed/heavy haul, with managed transportation and warehousing capabilities. Cross-border Mexico capability serves shippers with Texas-based supply chains feeding into Mexican manufacturing.
For shippers evaluating TA Services, the strongest fit is mid-market manufacturers and distributors with Texas, Southeast, or Mid-South freight programs — especially those with flatbed/industrial freight where the PS Logistics parent network adds asset-based capacity. The 3PL operates under a service-driven account management model rather than as a digital-first platform; shippers seeking instant quoting and pure self-service may find better fit with technology-led competitors.

- Strong fit for Texas-based shippers and US/Mexico cross-border programs
- Limited mode mix — no intermodal, air/expedited, ocean, or parcel coverage
- Technology platform is relationship-driven rather than self-service or instant-quote
