Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. is a publicly traded holding company that, until February 2024, operated through subsidiaries providing asset based logistics and transportation services. The company's shares resumed trading on the OTC PINK market on February 26, 2025 after having been downgraded from the OTC PINK to the OTC Expert Market on July 17, 2024. As of the date of this report, the company has only one employee who serves as both Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Prior to ceasing operations in February 2024, the firm maintained warehouse locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts and provided services such as ecommerce fulfillment, last mile delivery, two person home delivery, mid mile, and long haul transportation. The company and its subsidiaries ceased all remaining operations as of mid-February 2024, after several subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Revenue was generated primarily from the logistics services offered by its operating subsidiaries before the cessation of activities in February 2024. Key revenue generating subsidiaries included Cougar Express, which provided pickup, warehousing, and delivery services in the New York City three state area, and Freight Connections, which offered transportation, warehousing, consolidating, distribution, and local cartage services throughout the same region. Additional subsidiaries such as TLSSA and JFK Cartage also contributed pickup, warehousing, and delivery capabilities, while entities like Shyp CX and TLSS STI held no revenue generating operations. The firm's service portfolio encompassed ecommerce fulfillment, last mile delivery, two person home delivery, mid mile hauling, and long haul transportation, serving customers that required regional distribution and final mile delivery. Prior to September 30, 2020, the subsidiary Prime EFS derived the majority of its business from the Delivery Service Provider program of Amazon Logistics, Inc., and Shypdirect operated under a relay program service agreement with the same entity. These arrangements generated significant revenue streams from Amazon-related contracts before their expiration or termination.
