Welcome to 2010!

As a result of in an in depth analysis of our operational procedures and running lanes, numerous changes have been, and will continue to be, implemented to improve our efficiency. These changes will also result in better utilization and more efficiency for our contractors as well as reduce contractor operating cost.

New target goals have been put in place with regard to empty miles vs loaded miles which will significantly reduce empty miles. Shipper and consignee points have been reviewed and lanes that have shown to be inefficient or unprofitable are being revisited by the sales team to get increases in rates or are being eliminated.

The goal is to right size the fleet with the best contractors and match them up with the best loads possible to maximize profitability for Perkins and our contractors.
