We can now speak of a history, TTS was founded in 1986 in Holten. Under the name Transport Team Salland (TTS), the adventure has started that laid the foundation for the current TransHeroes | Smart Logistics Provider. From the start, the conscious choice was made to work as a forwarding agent and to hire equipment from other carriers. This is to guarantee flexibility and to serve customers optimally. In the early days, Transport Team Salland mainly transported to Germany.
TTS Transport Team Salland B.V. was founded on 1-3-1986 by Jacob de Vries and Ernine Tabois-van Wulfften Palthe. Both had been working in transport for some time at that time, they decided to bundle their strength and experience and set up TTS in Holten.
