You’re probably familiar with all the typical Texas tropes—football, barbecue, open plains, sprawling cities, ten-gallon hats, and the wild wild west. There is no shortage of reasons to love the Lone Star state, but if you’re a logistics nerd, you have approximately 3.3 billion reasons to love it more than anyone else. We’re talking freight. Weighing in at 3.3 billion tons of freight per year, Texas moves more freight than most other states. It’s also been America’s top exporter for 21 years running. All this to say: as a 3PL company, Texas fits us better than a worn-in, relaxed-fit pair of wrangler jeans, which is why we’ve decided to open a new ITS Logistics Center right in the heart of Fort Worth’s Cultural District.
Fort Worth has a great energy that uniquely blends western vibes with urban liveliness, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. This dynamic environment offers an ideal environment for both families and careers to thrive. With its diverse economy, affordable cost of living, and abundant job opportunities, expanding our company to Fort Worth was an easy decision. Combining our company’s people-first culture with Fort Worth’s abundant opportunities is an unbeatable match, and as we settle into this thriving city, we invite you to join the ITS team and explore the best things to do in Fort Worth, Texas.
