In January 2005 ATS Specialized was contacted by a major United States engineering & construction firm, and asked to assist in an Iraqi reconstruction project. The project contained multiple loads from various U.S. vendors, all destined for Eastern U.S. ports for export to Iraq. The loads consisted of a wide range of commodities and required various trailer configurations from legal flatbeds to specialized equipment. ATS was able to manage the tight shipping/port schedules and to date, ATS has safely transported 206 loads in this relief effort.
