CUSTOMER SUCCESS

See what our customers are saying:

Premier offers a broad range of trailers, which is huge for us. Having the availability of reefers, flatbeds, cartage trailers, and new dry vans is critical for us. The trailer tracking that they provide us enables us to know exactly where the trailers are and whether or not they're loaded at any given time. Clearly, that saves us a significant amount of empty miles and deadhead.

Mark Reed - President @ REEDTMS Logistics

You guys are great!!! We love our account rep and we hope the company doesn't change its position and strategy when it comes to support and relationships.

Alex Nedeltchev @ VL Trucking

Fast and easy check-in and check out times. I personally think premier has the best trailers around. Their equipment is always new and clean. The trailer that I recently rented had brand new Continental tires. Which was a plus for me.

Mario Waters

Not only does Premier offer quality equipment and competitive pricing, but the type of customer service they provide is uncommon these days. It is a reason we decide to engage with Premier.
