Distributors Terminal Corporation (DTC) has been providing logistics warehousing services to companies across the Midwest since the early 1900s. The C.W. Bauermeister Company (as DTC was originally known) signed their first contract with its employees on March 12, 1913. That contract stipulated drivers would work 10-hour days. One-horse drivers were paid $12.00 per week, and two-horse drivers were to receive $13.50. The drivers were to clean and water their horses on Sundays and on four paid holidays throughout the year. Much has changed since that first contract was signed, but one thing has remained constant: DTC's unwavering dedication to bringing value to the logistics supply chain of our clients.

DTC has extensive knowledge in the logistics field. Our associates average over 20 years in the logistics industry, with an extremely low turnover. This results in high client satisfaction and professional results. Let us focus our expertise on your logistic supply chain, so you may concentrate on your core business.

DTC uses the Cadence Supply Chain Execution Software to drive efficiencies across our logistics platform, which results in cost-effective, efficient and reliable logistics supply chain solutions for our clients.
