Shippers

Large or heavy loads are subject to different rules and regulations. And those rules and regulations vary by each state and province your freight travels through. How are you supposed to keep track of everything?

Making one mistake could cost you time and money — putting your project at risk.

• Avoid slowdowns caused by accidents or safety violations with in-house safety and securement teams
• Put your freight in good hands with experienced heavy haul drivers who specialize in oversize and overweight shipping
• Protect your investment with drivers who go through ongoing safety and securement training
• Reduce the risk of damage by partnering with someone who won't take shortcuts

ATS drivers need to prove their skills before they take on your heavy haul transport needs. It’s not until they show they can pull standard 53-foot trailers and reach certain milestones that they move on to the next size and weight class.

There's nothing more frustrating than putting in the work to find a heavy haul carrier to ship your over-dimensional freight, just to have them back out on you last minute.

It shouldn't be this hard to find a reliable heavy haul carrier...

When you partner with PTT, you’ll avoid dealing with heavy haul trucking companies that claim they’re ready to do the 

job you asked for and, at the last minute, tell you they won’t be able to. When we say we’ll do something for you, we’ll do it the right way. That goes for pricing too. Get an accurate quote upfront that won't change.

Your demands ebb and flow. That's why it doesn't make financial sense for you to have your own yard or warehouse space. But why do you have to sign up for terms that don't make sense for your needs when you need warehouse space? Why can't warehouse companies flex to your business requirements? 

With PTT' asset-light warehousing solutions you'll get warehousing, distribution and inventory management services catered to fit your dynamic supply chain.

Whether it's across the country or down the street, utilizing a provider you're familiar with — that you've tested before — is a significant advantage.

You shouldn't need to onboard a new dry van carrier every time your shipping needs shift. That only makes it harder to gain efficiencies across your supply chain.

While our assets, drivers and facilities are most heavily concentrated east of the Mississippi River, PTT offers customized solutions throughout the U.S.
