Tri Star Freight System, Inc. started as a port agency serving the import and export of US Government household goods shipments of employees relocating around the world to and from the United States. Begun in 1987, Ken Garrison, President and CEO, has steadily grown Tri Star into a full service transportation management organization. Headquartered in Houston, Tri Star has expanded with branch operations in the ports of Baltimore, MD; Charleston, SC ; Savannah, GA ; and Jacksonville, FL.

Operating a fleet of 202 owner-operators and 335,000 square feet of warehousing, Tri Star has grown to serve clients in all 48 states moving freight of all kinds. As an Airfreight Forwarder and Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier, the company has worldwide reach with a tremendous network of agents in virtually every country.

Garrison has built his company to operate with the highest levels of integrity. “Our product is Service,” said Garrison, “Tri Star’s service does not end with the sale, in fact it is just the beginning. Quality performance is the finished product. We bring quality service to the market.”

Tri Star Freight System has grown steadily in the last 18 years through a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication by their employees, many of whom have been with the company since its inception. Their mission is to provide the highest levels of quality service and they look forward to continued growth through continued caring of their customers.
