P&S Transportation

One of the ways we keep our customer service promise of safe, on-time delivery is by equipping our fleet with the latest safety technology. At this year's Annual Safety Managers Meeting, our safety personnel got a full demonstration of the new MirrorEye camera system we are rolling out to our fleet. MirrorEye enhances drivers' ability to operate their trucks safely by reducing blind spots and increasing visibility at night and during inclement weather. Embracing technology has been part of P&S's DNA since 2004 and as transportation tech continues to evolve, so will we.

After 12 years of processing upwards of a billion dollars of payments to our vendors, Accounts Payable Specialist Sheila Bryant is retiring from PS Logistics company TBS. Her last day with us was Friday August 30th, when we held an Open House Celebration in her honor. There were stories told, memories shared, and most of all, hard work appreciated. PS Logistics has grown exponentially in Sheila's time here, and her reliability and industry knowledge were foundational in making that growth as smooth as possible from an accounts payable perspective. "Happy Retirement to TBS A/P Specialist Sheila B! Thanks for all that you've done for PS Logistics and best wishes for this next chapter of your life!" - Connie S., AP Manager Thank you for everything, Sheila, and happy retirement! It is well deserved.

We will always remember. We will never forget. 9.11.01

Did you know we now have a Specialized Division? When we partnered with Rinaudo Enterprises last year, we established a segment to service new and existing customers in the infrastructure, construction, agriculture, and forestry end markets. Part of providing top-tier customer service is making sure our drivers have the equipment needed to support this sector. Rinaudo driver Charles T. is pictured here behind the wheel of a new specialized Freightliner equipped with Mirror Eye technology. The P&S Specialized Division is committed to safe, timely delivery of oversized and overweight equipment and unique freight. For more information, please call 205-788-4000.

P&S Transportation is proud to welcome Michael M. to the Million Mile Club! Michael began his driving career in '95 and joined our team in April of 2014. He has thrived since day one and paid off an LP truck in 2021. On the date we celebrated him, Michael had clocked 1,045,251 consecutive safe miles at P&S! Michael and his wife Belin have a combined 23 children and grandchildren, so Michael has plenty of reasons he keeps safety his #1 priority. He backs up that safety first attitude by remembering his Smith System training and always stays up to date on Drive for Gold training modules. In fact, Michael has earned 1,814,500 DFG points! With a 10 Year safety award under his belt, Michael is a standout driver and his back office support team shared in the excitement when he was inducted into the Million Mile Club. Here's what they said: "Michael was the first driver to pour into me and feel in my knowledge gaps on anything I didn't know. Has always been a team player and helps out whenever he can. Always does his DFG! I rarely have to ask him to do it. I'm excited to see you reach the million-mile mark and looking for to the next million. Thank you, Michael, for all you do." - Russell M., Driver Manager "Congratulations, Michael! This is a great accomplishment, and you should be proud. We certainly are! You're one of our drivers who are rarely seen in safety because you're always out there working hard and safely. Thank you for everything you do to deliver great!" - Mitchel J., Regional Safety Manager "Michael is a great driver who is always willing to help. He provides a lot of knowledge to his DM about the industry and the right way to do it. He has also been on top of his mileage, as he has been talking about being close to his million safe miles for the past year. He puts that kind of attention to what he does out there on the road as well. Thank you, Michael, for your hard work and dedication." - Andy O., Director of Operations Please join us in a HUGE round of applause as we welcome Michael M. to the Million Mile Club!

As our summer interns wrap up their time with us, we want to showcase this phenomenal group and all they have accomplished. They have had an immersive experience over the last eight weeks ranging from load planning, dispatch, maintenance logs, reviewing dashcam footage for correctional purposes, and CSA reporting. We also enjoyed an intern in our IT department who aided in helpdesk tickets, and another within our marketing department who made her directorial debut on a number of videos. The highlight of the summer for us was when the interns blew us away with their Power BI group project presentations. The way they took real operational data from across the PSL network, analyzed it, and presented conclusions was truly impressive. We are very proud of the impact this group has made during their time with us and are grateful to have played a part in their young professional careers. Thanks for everything, interns. Your futures are bright!

P&S Legends are more than drivers to us. They're the heart of the team. They are the reason we have been successful for the last 20 years. They've been leading by example for more than 15 years, and that's why last week Legends Richard H. and Rebecca F. were seated in these custom-wrapped 20th Anniversary Kenworth T680s. Check out these beautiful trucks and show some love for these Legends in the comments! Thank you, drivers, for 20 wonderful years! We look forward to the next 20!

On this date 20 years ago, P&S's first employees were too busy to even look at a calendar. They had a handful of trucks to dispatch and there was no room for error. It was their first week in business. Those young employees had no idea that 20 years later they'd still be busy making sure every load delivers safely and on time. They had no idea almost every single founding member of the team would remain in 2024. By all accounts, they also didn't expect to have more than 1,400 trucks on the road. This week is the first week of our 21st year as P&S Transportation. We've grown and evolved, but the foundation is the same. Drivers come first. Safety is our #1 priority. We deliver to all 48 states. Our co-founder and CEO sits in his office with the door open in case a driver wants to talk. Today might be our birthday, but 20 years later we are still too busy to slow down and celebrate. The only thing we have to say is, "THANK YOU!" Thank you, drivers, for working so hard and making this company successful. Thank you to every family member who has supported a P&S driver over the road. Thank you to our customers for trusting in us. Thank you to the talented individuals who keep our trucks rolling every day and to those who've stuck by us since June of 2004. We might be 20 years into this journey, but we aren't slowing down any time time soon. Thank you to every member of the extended P&S family for being the heart of our team. Let's get rolling into the next 20 years!
