Transport Distribution Company

Transport Distribution Company Founded in 1984, TDC is a leading transportation company headquartered in Joplin, MO and operating in all 48 continental states! (MCI) as its local cartage.

Our focus is substantial service to not only our customers, but our drivers! Trucking is our family tradition! TDC originated in Kansas City, Kansas in 1984 with five employees to serve Monkem Co. Later TDC provided storage and delivery service for shipping containers, drayage service for pig trailers, and limited over-the-road truckload service. Employment grew to 55 people operating 40 city and

road tractors with a variety of trailers. In August of 1988, TDC opened a Joplin terminal located on east 20th Street, hauling roofing products, building materials and steel in the surrounding states. This operation doubled in the next six months, encouraging TDC to purchase 20 acres on East 7th Street. TDC’s new office, shop, and parking area were completed and occupied in early March of 1990. At the end of 1989, TDC moved their administrative, dispatch, and maintenance operations to Joplin. Since early 1990, We now have 60 office and shop employees to help keep the drivers on the road. TDC continues to grow with offices in St. Louis, Missouri; Kansas City, Missouri; and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; along with its home terminal in Joplin, Missouri. Although TDC has authority to operate in all 48 states, its chosen Market-Niche is serving the Midwest United States. Eighty-five percent of our loads originate and terminate within this area, which allows us to provide substantial service to area shippers. Another reason for keeping our equipment in this area is to get our drivers home frequently. Considerable effort is made to get ALL drivers home time.

We're so thankful for the many drivers who've messaged us asking, "As an employee-owner and driver, how can I help the company during these surging fuel costs?" ... The answer is focus on reducing your idle time.

1️⃣ shut down your engine when parked for more than 5 minutes
2️⃣ reply on APU's to provide heating, cooling and electrical power
3️⃣ minimize time spent waiting by planning ahead and communicating with dispatch

If you're lookin' for easy and refreshing summer bites, here you go! This recipe can be customized any which way you'd like. You can use chicken, turkey or any type of protein. We'll be using shrimp for today's recipe walk-through.

First, you're going to cook your shrimp (or other protein). If you're opting for chicken, you can also use a rotisserie chicken to skip this cooking step. Flavor your protein of choice with your favorite seasonings and/or sauces. This dish can easily be seasoned with Mexican, Asian or Cajun flavors.

Next, prep your lettuce. You can put a base down such as Greek Yogurt, hummus or even a hot sauce. The options are really endless with this one!

Finally, top your lettuce boats with your toppings of choice. We love baby tomatoes, onions, cilantro and a pinch of feta.

Enjoy! This can also be an easy go-to meal prep solution for quick and health conscious meals!

This OTR recipe is super easy, customizable and requires very little active cook time.

First off! You'll need your favorite type of rice. You can cook this in a rice cooker or on a stove top, depending on what you have.

Instead of using water in your rice, use a low sodium chicken broth for some additional protein 💪. You can also add garlic and onions to the rice if you'd like. You can cook a big batch of this rice and store it for future meals as well!

When cooking your egg, you can do it any way you'd like - from a simple over-easy style to an omelet! Pro tip! If you opt for an omelet with cheese, try adding a low-fat cottage cheese for even more protein and less fat than a cheddar or American cheese. Enjoy!
