“PTL is hands-down the most reliable dry van carrier we've partnered with. Their drivers are professional, their equipment is top-notch, and they communicate every step of the way. Plus, knowing they're 100% employee-owned means every driver truly cares about the freight they're hauling.”
From a Single Ford to the Nation's Supply Chain — Built on Ownership
PTL was founded in 1937 by L.W. Paschall and his wife, Mary Frank, who started with a single 1936 Ford truck hauling general freight from Calloway County to Louisville. What began as a small family operation has grown into a 100% employee-owned company with over $260 million in annual revenue. From our headquarters in Murray, Kentucky, with terminals across the U.S., we've built our reputation by putting people first: our employee-owners, our customers, and our logistics partners.
Today, PTL operates a modern fleet of over 1,100 tractors and 3,200 trailers, employing more than 1,000 professional drivers. We specialize in dry van truckload, regional, dedicated, expedited, and cross-border service between the United States and Mexico. With over 85% drop & hook and 100% no-touch freight, our drivers get to do what they love DRIVE. As a 100% employee-owned company, every team member earns shares of the company at no cost, creating a culture of ownership that drives our success. PTL delivers with the speed, care, and consistency that has made us a trusted partner from coast to coast.
