Freight hauler Trans-System operates through three main units: System Transport (flatbed); TW Transport (refrigerated and dry van); and James J. Williams (bulk commodities). The Trans-System trucking companies operate from some 10 terminals in the western US. Overall, the company's fleet consists of about 1,000 tractors and 1,500 trailers. Trans-System also offers logistics services and runs a driver training school. Chairman and CEO Jim Williams founded the company in 1972, although it got its start when Williams' grandfather began transporting petroleum products throughout northern Idaho and eastern Washington.
