Put Prime Trans on a vehicle lane.
Two or more loads a week between the same auction, plant, store or warehouse is a lane. A lane gets assigned trucks, a backup, a 12-month rate with a fuel-surcharge table, and a review every quarter.
Illustrative photography — not Prime Trans equipment.Capacity you can plan around.
Assigned trucks
Named trucks and drivers on your lane, plus a backup truck. The drivers learn your lots, your gates and your hours.
Service standard
An on-time pickup and delivery target written into the agreement, measured every month and reported to you.
Visibility
ELD-linked tracking on every load, an eBOL with timestamped photos of every unit, and a daily status email to your transportation contact.
Damage and claims
Report within 24 hours, acknowledged within 48, resolved on a written target. Carmack liability, cargo $1,000,000 per load and $350,000 per vehicle.
Rate structure
Per unit or per loaded mile, plus a fuel-surcharge table tied to the DOE index. Accessorials listed, 12-month term, quarterly review, Net 15 for approved accounts.
Compliance
MC and USDOT, the insurance summary, the safety record and references are all in the proposal, so your office has nothing to chase.
A trial, not a leap.

Send the lane
Origin and destination, units per load, loads per week, hours, and any gate or dock rules. We return a one-page proposal and rate sheet in two to three business days.

Trial period
A few weeks of real loads on your terms. Score pickup times, communication, the photo record, claims and invoice accuracy. Every POD comes with the photo record, so scoring is easy.

Award and review
A transportation or dealer-vendor agreement, primary or backup designation, and a quarterly review with the numbers on the table. Renewal is a conversation, not a re-bid.
