In the world of logistics, meeting the specific needs of each client is paramount, and we think we’ve cracked the code for delivering excellence for even the trickiest of freight. Let’s take it back to the beginning and explain how our two founders built PEI into the ultimate one stop shop for domestic shipping it is today.

So, Vicky and Michele started PEI (Premier Expediters Inc.), back in 1992 as a small air freight forwarding company in Atlanta. This was until, they saw what back warehouse operations were like and what kinds of shipping solutions were missing, they knew there was a huge gap in the market and decided to change things up. Now, PEI operates predominantly as a domestic ground freight business, with eight strategically placed agency offices across the entire U.S. Through our vast network and expert agents, we are able to ensure that your freight is handled by people who understand your unique challenges and can deliver customized solutions for your specialized freight.

Each PEI location is its’ own logistics agency, specializing in a variety of services to ensure that every shipment reaches its destination on time and in perfect condition. We utilize our own trucks and a rigorously vetted network of carriers to fulfil our expedited truckloads, emergency shipping, and specialized shipping scenarios. Let’s take a look at our agencies, their locations and the services they specialize in to keep our customers shipments moving.

Disclaimer ✋

Although we’ve mentioned which area of logistics each station specializes in, they’re not limited to just these sectors and shipping methods. Each agent has the capability to ship almost any freight and if they can’t, then they are great at sharing loads with each other to make sure your freight is in the best hands. Team work, really does make the dream work, and PEI are the dream team!
