Have you discussed their capitalization plan? I hear it is in the + 2M range and does not include public equity? Private and Institutional Capital!? Looking for insight..
PTA Holdings Inc. acquired Kingsley Logistic Group in 2012. Business strategy of the PTA Holdings calls for expansion through the execution of an aggressive acquisition plan. Kingsley is positioned to take advantage of the transportation industry's growing trend toward global logistics, distribution and supply chain management, paying attention to the acquisition of small to medium sized companies that we define generating revenues of 2.0 to 20 million of annual revenues as targets of it's roll-up strategy.

Trucking industry health to remain strong through 2013
A new report indicates that truckers' confidence in their employment will likely rise considerably in the years ahead, as the industry is expected to see a significant improvement from an economic perspective.
The study, which was conducted jointly by IHS Global Insight and Martin Labbe Associates on behalf of the American Trucking Associations, revealed that truckers will take on a more prominent role in the transportation industry, thanks to a projected rise in revenue, total freight tonnage and services needed
One of the great strengths of the trucking industry is how it’s connected to every sector of the US economy, from food service to manufacturing. Virtually every business in the country must have items delivered to it in order to keep its doors open.
That job falls on transportation professionals. www.ptaholding.com
More loads, more money – Two things are driving an upswing in trucking company revenues. One is the slow but steady recovery the national economy is experiencing. Even housing, which has been in the dumps for years, is rebounding as new construction is increasing and home values are rising. Another trend that is benefitting transportation companies is the continuing move among businesses to outsource many functions once handled in-house. This includes delivering products, a job that is increasingly being farmed out to trucking contractors.

PTA Holdings Definition of Services
Logistics - The process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost effective flow and storage of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of meeting customer requirements. -- (Reference: Canadian Association of Logistics Management, 12 Feb, 1998)
Logistics as it relates to Transportation Services
Our relationships with truck, rail, ocean, and air carriers mean more equipment options and greater flexibility to bring freight to market. Because we do not rely on a single carrier,(including our own fleet), we have great flexibility when solving freight problems. Our industry expertise makes it possible to track trends and foresee when capacity will be a problem. Our logistics team will evaluate your requirements, including service and cost expectations, then suggest the best multimodal options to help you achieve your objectives.
Absolutely and Totally False.. This needs to stop.. The new team took control as of June 12, 2012.. They WERE NOT ASSOCIATED IN ANY WAY WITH THE COMPANY PRIOR TO THAT DATE! Enough Already!
One thing for certain that should be noted.. Those business transactions (PRE-DATED) KCC.. They occurred during 2009 & 2010 and were agreed to by previous management.. Note as well that until the KCC team took the reins during June of 2012, the company never approached becoming CURRENT with its reporting.. Give the new team some slack my friend! Have a good day--Over & Out!

Absolutely Fruitless discussion.. I hope other's have seen this seemingly endless dialogue on display.. I say again the Company, that is PTA Holdings is accomplishing what they set out in their business plan at least a year ago..
A very brief review of previous company communications will clear up the confusion you seem to have..(Do they not have a management team supervising operational elements that serve a "Blue-Chip" customer base..(By the way, those Customers must be certain of the following: Do they have Insurance as well as Operating Authority before hauling their goods.) Meanwhile what you have stated is totally incorrect!
Responding to the following:
"Again "they" have no authority to "provide" transportation services that were mentioned.. They are free to MANAGE other PROVIDERS all they want."
AGAN... Both are Provider's of Logistics Services.. The way they handle their internal affairs is proprietary and will stand the light of day, that would be any day.. The CEO and his TEAM have well over 50 years of experience in the industry- Pre-De-Regulation 1980 Vintage and Beyond.. By the Way, the CEO is a specialist in Mergers and Acquisitions, an Attorney, having a CPA background.. I would "hang my hat" on that team any day.. So Onward PTAH and Stay the Course you have set out.
Show me where they ever stated that they were a "Carrier", etc...
It is an interesting fact that your response completely disregards the fact that their release pointed out terrific progress year to year and quarter to quarter.. No doubt it sheds very positive light on the New Management Team... Again the release is only a forecast--who knows they may actually exceed that by another 600%.. I'll take them at face value.. Suggest others do the same..

Meanwhile Captain Xray continues--"Revenues up or down? An increase of 600% over 2012 would equal $675,157"

The Business Model
• PTA Holdings, Inc. transportation sector roll-up strategy…
"Our goal is to increase our market presence significantly, both in existing operating regions and in other areas where we believe the freight environment meets our operating strategy serving industries that we have a demonstrated record of performance, while seeking to achieve industry-leading operating margins and returns on investment. We will do this with a focused roll-up of transportation companies that meet our criteria attracting them by the fact that we are a public company that can provide those owners an exit strategy and payback for their investment and efforts over the years. We seek to add operational assets, management and systems from those companies, then to merge our system and theirs through operating synergies that will enhance the profitability of the combined companies."; stated by CEO Lewensohn as he defined Roll-Up Strategy" for the Company. "This is not "Rocket Science" and has been done successfully previously by other companies in the transportation industry"; again stated by Lewensohn.
Exactly where and how do you get the information you publish Joel? Is it possible that the company by following a predetermined business plan, and, having stated its roll-up strategy, then executing it, might really be the "Real-deal"?! A call to the CEO might be a good place to resolve any questions you might have about the company.. then at least you could publish factual information based upon that discussion..
REAL RESULTS REFLECTED AS PTAH EXECUTES IT'S BUSINESS PLAN!!!!
PTA Holdings, Inc. Buying Intermodal Container Carrier
PHOENIX, June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PTA Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: PTAH) announced today that the Company is in negotiations to purchase a Midwest trucker of ocean containers. The carrier services rail and port and rail hubs located in Illinois and Wisconsin operating with company and owner operator power and company owned bogies. Ocean and domestic container freight continues to grow year over year, and it's the Company's intention to acquire more carriers and open more strategic terminals. The target carrier provides the Company with a strong beginning in the container business. The Company will be able to expand the targets operating revenues of $2 million through addition of equipment.
PTA Holdings, Inc. Company Perspectives: Text is taken from a recent interview with Operations Management discussing recently released results and their take on expansion plans.
Equipment
Our operating strategy is to achieve a high level of asset utilization within a highly disciplined operating system while maintaining strict controls over our cost structure.
Markets
Our goal is to increase our market presence significantly, both in existing operating regions and in other areas where we believe the freight environment meets our operating strategy, while seeking to achieve industry-leading operating margins and returns on investment.
Operating Personnel
In addition, shorter hauls provide an attractive alternative to drivers in the truckload sector by reducing the amount of time spent away from home. We believe this improves driver retention, decreases recruitment and training costs, and reduces insurance claims and other costs.
>>>>and so it goes.. Keep your eyes on the company's 1rst quarter results soon to be published... Their business plan is coming together-- 2013 is expected to be as projected.. Believe it or not! That will be your choice-- remember the buss will soon leave the station! This Company will soon be moving beyond the Pinks!! >>>and that would be my opinion!
PTA Holdings, Inc.

To All Posters..
Please be advised the following posting is totally inaccurate.. Please refer to the Company's Current Information as listed on the OTC Pinks.. The Company is not now or ever has been a Travel Agency and is No Longer based in Georgia...
"PTA Holdings, Inc. operates as a travel agency in the United States. It also operates a travel agent training school and a travel kiosk. The company?s kiosks generate multiple revenue streams in the forms of advertising and point of sale. PTA Holdings, Inc. is based in Cleveland, Georgia."
So it’s ok to slam individuals associated with a company by an internet "sleuth"-- Words that are intended to damage people and a company are what your post is all about.. Facts... Why bother? It's too complicated and hard to comprehend... Serious investors will stay with the company, even though misguided attempts like the one referenced are likely to continue...
3's in range then on to penny's... Good to see exit row clearing.. go PTAH...
And so it goes.. It is time to move on-- No more negative dialog response from this party.. Other than to state that I will continue to be a supporter of the Company/Lewensohn & Norton! Both are invested in it and are actually working to develop a successful enterprise, for all concerned.. Know that words actually do matter.
CAPTAIN XRAY-- IS OBVIOUSLY OUT TO DAMAGE PTAH--WHAT COULD BE HIS POSSIBLE REASONS?
SIMPLY LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS DONE OR ATTEMPTED TO DO TO OTHER "TARGETS" HE SOUGHT TO DAMAGE!
AS REGARDS THIS LATEST MESSAGE, AS I SEEM TO RECALL IT IS A FACT THAT THE COMPANIES MENTIONED WERE SOLD TO ANOTHER KANSAS BASED OPERATION IN EARLY 2010! IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THAT ORGANIZATION TO UPDATE STATUS AT THE STATE LEVEL... LEWENSOHN WAS CLEARLY NO LONGER INVOLVED!
REGARDING YOUR SHALLOW AND ILL-ADVISED COMMENTS REGARDING RECENT ROLL-UPS!! RATHER THAT TELLING YOU TO GO JUMP, I WILL SIMPLY STATE THAT THE COMPANY'S RESULTS WILL SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES...
ONE FINAL COMMENT KCC...IS CLEARLY MENTIONED THAT ITS MISSION IS TO EXECUTE A BUSINESS PLAN WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY VIA A ROLL-UP STRATEGY... YOU CAN BET THAT THE PROFLOW ERA IS NOT IN THEIR GAME-PLAN... SO NOW GO BACK TO SLEEP!
REGARDS,
FROM A SUPPORTER OF A GOOD AND REPUTABLE COMPANY!
This board, as many others has comments made by those that know nothing of the real facts,and, a quick review of statements made recently will support my statement.. Know that postings are made by individuals, pro and con, neither of which represent the reality of company deals or operations.. Go to the Pink Sheet Filings, where a CEO attests to the truth! In this case he is an attorney and specialist in Mergers & Acquisitions.. Suggest that those who do not believe, find another venue to post their misguided statements!
Trucking Industry on the Upswing Heading Into 2013 as Truck Tonnage Index Rises for the First Time Since July
5 days ago – NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 18, 2013) -
NEW YORK, NY — Heading into 2013, a number of factors have combined to present a positive outlook for the Trucking Industry.
A quotation from Kingsley's Business Plan--Now refer to the PR issued today.. Seems like they are moving ahead in a planned and deliberate manner.
Leasing Operations
“…since the beginning of 2008 13% of trucks on the Road have disappeared…”
“…Kingsley will establish leasing operations as a strategic profit center and source of equipment for 3PL and trucking operations…”
Kingsley will execute its leasing strategy with a primary objective of supporting its revenue generating business units by controlling the lease process through service agreements with its business units and 3rd party trucking operations.
It's time to Clear the deck as to allegations purely and untruthfully unfounded! A sorry day for this and ALL Pink Sheet Companies!
No Need to answer what you state sources say to be fact!
As an individual close to all the named individuals, but not the individuals that you name sir, so forget yourself serving-"Testy comment”! Morgan was the birth name of the major player you attempt to Slander--He and his family simply restored his surname out of respect to his father's memory! It, since from an early age, his father (Morgan) WW2 Hero & Casualty of that period & since his stepfather's name (Windorski) (another honorable man) was a taken name! He and his family agreed that as a means of honoring his father (Morgan), his and his father’s name (Morgan) should be restored to honor him and his memory! That sir would be a real fact!
Now as to OrderPro, the only major player to lose his serious $ investment was none other than the Person and his family that you attempt to Slander! He founded the Company Paid to bring it public (probably something that escapes you), never took a salary, yet was screwed by other's including his own half brother along the with real crooks that cost ALL involved their investments!
Your answer's and allegations are pure B/S! If you want to confront the guy personally that you Slander along with his family, be man enough to look him up! You seem to know all the answers so that should not be hard to do! You sir are a Sad Human Being--or are you even that! AND so it goes, AND what the hell has this to do with PTAH---FIRST TIME POSTER!!!
Here you go again.. Spewing information about good people without any evidence of truth.. Nothing stated relates to PTAH OR ANY of its Officers! This is pure Bull, and you should be ashamed for trying to damage good people and a good company! Time for a time-out for you to get your facts straight!
Simply Stated.. The stock needs Buyers looking for a longer term payback.. Let the Company begin issuing results in 2013 for its newly acquired business as announced just days ago.. Investors would be the key word here...
