Does anyone know if Premium Transportation Logistics is a good company for solo straight truck drivers?

Bruno · Jan 19, 2015

I don't know much about them myself. They have been around for years and I have never heard one bad thing about them. I know this don't help you much.

PTl's safety director John Mueller is a long time member here on EO. Perhaps he will chime in and answer any questions for you.

I can't answer your specific question but I can tell you that John Mueller is a stand up guy. He wouldn't associate with undesirables. The fact he's been with them so long says at the very least it is a decent company to be with and safe to put on your list of possibles. Good luck with your research.

I agree completely. Top notch guy. He is also one of the founders and owners.

For a $100 dollars cash, up front I will open up my log book and settlements to you. Your $100 is fully refunded to you if and when I get the bonus sign on fee.

John would be the guy to talk to. He has always been a straight shooter and has been around for a pretty good stretch.

No help either but worked some of their brokered freight a few years ago and remember them as one of the good ones.

Weeell, I wouldn't go that far. He is, after all, a Moderator here on EO, which is comprised chiefly of undesirables.

Thanks for all of the kind words. Lawyers will tell you, and have told me in the past, that I am a poor judge of character. Yes I have hung around with some undesirables.

I'm really trying hard to be a better person.

NoFear - my opinion is biased because of my affiliation with Premium. I think we are THE company to be with if you are a solo straight truck. For years we operated the majority of our trucks with solo drivers. These trucks have done well in that capacity. I asked our reporting guru recruiter Brian Otto to run a report for the straight trucks. The report was done for the past 6 months from today's date and yielded these results for solo straight trucks: The average pay per loaded mile was $X.XX, the average pay per "all miles" was $Y.YY. Since we all understand that expediting is not all about "miles" - it is about revenue to your truck - the average weekly settlement for these solo drivers for the last 6 months was $Z.ZZ.
....to get the answers you will have to speak with a Premium Transportation Logistics recruiter. Being a moderator I know that I can't tell you to call 1-800-661-3166 and press extension 207 for Brian Otto, extension 142 for Anne Keel, or extension 112 for Scott Holcomb. Nor can I tell you if you are out on the road and see a big black Sprinter van wrapped in "Premium" garb that you can speak with Lenny Belcher.

Again, thank you for the kind words.

Freight rarely returns once delivered. Dunnage may be another story.
