From 1994 to Full-Service Logistics

Robin Transportation Systems Inc. was founded in 1994 by John Clarkson to handle final-mile delivery for inbound air freight. Accountability and direct communication defined RTSI from the start, and both still drive the company today.

Over three decades, RTSI expanded from air cargo delivery into full-service freight forwarding and customs coordination. The focus stayed the same: non-standard shipments that require extra coordination. Dangerous goods, project cargo, human remains repatriation, trade show logistics. Freight and customs support stay coordinated, with fewer handoffs and clear communication at every stage.
