Premier Transport

What Premier Transport does

Premier Transport, operating under the legal name Premier Refrigerated Transport, is a private transportation company headquartered in Tacoma, Washington. The firm functions as the dedicated transportation arm of Monterey Mushrooms, a mushroom farming company, focusing on refrigerated freight and logistics services. Premier Transport operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees and supports the cold-chain distribution requirements of its parent organization. As a captive transportation subsidiary, the company's revenue base is effectively an intercompany allocation tied to Monterey Mushrooms' agricultural production and distribution cadence, rather than externally monetized third-party freight demand.

The company has signaled operational modernization through its partnership with Qargo, a Europe-based transportation management system (TMS) provider, in which Premier Refrigerated Transport is identified as the first signed U.S. customer. This relationship suggests the company is moving toward digitized dispatch, routing, and load management for its refrigerated fleet, replacing or supplementing legacy manual processes. No other technology stack components, proprietary platforms, or integrations are disclosed in the available source material.

The business model is internal-facing by design: Premier Transport provides dedicated refrigerated capacity to its parent's agricultural supply chain rather than competing broadly in the open third-party logistics market. No external customer logos, public pricing, contract structures, or independent revenue figures are disclosed. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or geographic expansion signals are present in the available data, leaving strategic and operating decisions closely aligned with the production and distribution cadence of Monterey Mushrooms.
