What We Do
Our Asset Based Fleet
For many years, we relied solely on the dedicated use of contract equipment, utilizing the systems of some of the nation's best full load carriers. However, we recognized that our customers required consistent and flexible service so we created our own fleet. Over the years we've also partnered with some of the best ground and LTL carriers to be able to provide the service and pricing required for any shipment.
We're dedicated to service.
PLC Expedited (PLCX) encompasses our dedicated company owned fleet of trucks that provide the control and flexibility needed for consistent, scheduled, and reliable services.
