Terminal Investment Corporation (TICO) is the only terminal tractor manufacturer in North America that also owns and operates its own fleet. It was developed from the initiatives of the Booker family over two complete generations and over seven decades—starting in 1946 and evolving from bus transportation and terminal businesses (1950s-60s) to port-related labor transportation (1960s-70s), to TICO’s current port equipment rental pools and terminal tractor manufacturing businesses.
