BR Williams is the latest company to receive the Certified Transportation Broker certification from the Transportation Intermediaries Association. The certification is a game changer for 3PL. Three team members from the Alabama-based supply chain company completed the complex course to leverage the competitive advantage it provides. The team of newly certified members consists of TK Bardwell, Kenton Sprayberry, and Chris Nester.

“The CTB course was challenging but rewarding. The material provided insight into many industry topics that I had encountered but never fully understood,” said Kenton Sprayberry.

The CTB certification takes more than just a fee, however, as the Transportation Intermediaries Association describes the home study and exam program as “rigorous.” Those who attempt the exam must pass three sections covering principles for brokerage, traffic management and contract services, as well as legal and regulatory issues in a four-hour, multiple choice testing setting. If the test is failed, candidates have opportunities four times a year to re-take it (tianet).

When a company boasts the CTB Certification, the level of professionalism, industry expertise, and integrity that places them in an advantageous position over competitors and provides customers with assurance needed to develop life-long business relationships, especially for third party logistics companies. As explained by the TIA, holding this certification provides marketing advantages, professional recognition, and career advancement.
