The history of Transport Continental, Inc. (TCI) dates back to 1956 when Jimmy Cowart came to South Texas driving a truck.  In 1980, Jimmy Cowart and his son Jim Cowart devoted the next several years to logistics and transportation business processes that would later become essential to the founding of TCI.

​

Jimmy and his son Jim founded Transport Continental, Inc. in 1989, with a fleet of three trucks and ten trailers. It was not until the year 2000, that Jim Cowart assumed the leadership role, and contributed to the high success of the asset-based full-service freight transportation company (TCI).

​

TCI offers International and Domestic transportation services within Mexico, the United States, and Canada. TCI specializes in Dry Van, Flatbed, Step Deck, and over-dimensional freight movements. There are physical locations in Pharr, TX, and Laredo, TX, which provide a variety of storage, cross-dock, trans-loading, and maintenance services.

​

Differentiation driven by quality processes segregates its business group from most transportation providers. Senior Leadership drives a quality interdependent culture throughout the organization. Customer Service is a Core Value, supported by a team of qualified and trained drivers controlling one of the newest fleets on the road. The concentration of these strengths provides TCI with the ability to sustain long-term partnerships with a large number of midsize and Fortune 500 companies.
