Premium Logistics

What Premium Logistics does

Premium Logistics Inc. is a privately held, asset-light freight transportation and logistics intermediary headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, operating across the United States and Mexico. The company matches commercial shippers' cargo with a network of recruited owner-operators running a diverse fleet (cargo vans, sprinter vans, box trucks, straight trucks, refrigerated variants, flatbeds, step decks, and Conestoga trailers). Its service portfolio spans nine core offerings: Full Truckload, Expedited Shipping, Cross Border, Shipping on Conestoga, Last Mile Delivery, Overnight Delivery, Time-Critical Solutions, Reefer/Controlled Temperature Loads, and Drayage Services.

The business model is a transaction-based brokerage take-rate: Premium Logistics contracts with shippers and passes loads to owner-operators in its network, who retain 90% of total load gross revenue, with the company capturing the remaining 10% margin. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per shipment. Owner-operators are recruited through direct outreach and a channel partnership with Owner Operator Land, and are offered fuel advances, weekly direct deposit, health benefits, and 24/7 dispatch support.

Technology is primarily operational rather than differentiated: a 24/7 fleet tracking system provides shipment visibility to customers, and the company has adopted ORTEC's third-party optimization solutions for FTL order creation, loading optimization, and empty-mile reduction. There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform, no API offerings, and no internal software product. The company employs 11-50 people, has no institutional funding, and operates as an independent, owner-operated business network with limited public financial disclosure.
