PREMIER PEOPLE
Any company can move lots of stuff from one place to another, or store inventory in a big warehouse. Few can do it with a level of accountability that comes with Premier Freight.
Accountability begins with people.
Our team at Premier Freight Management thrives on being trusted partners with our clients, being readily available at any time and identifying the best, most cost-efficient solution for the most complex transportation and warehousing problems.
Premier Freight provides our clients with powerful logistics solutions involving people, technology and location working together to provide integrated, customized, full service supply chain management that meet your exact needs.
Mark Laning and I started Premier Freight with our first delivery more than a decade ago. We already had 25 years of experience in logistics management, and we set ourselves to be a different kind of 3PL. Our mission on that first delivery was exactly the same as it is today: to be the trusted partner in business, to make supply chains the most competitive aspect of business, and to exceed the needs of every customer – every single time.
The driving force behind our company is our commitment to adding value through everything we do to give the very best service available, to meet and exceed your needs, and provide unmatched quality, without question.
Today, the next generation of Walcott’s and Laning’s are taking over from their fathers. Their commitment is unchanged, and they know that now, more than ever, today’s environment is intensely competitive, and all of us are here to serve.
We truly appreciate your consideration of Premier Freight for your transportation and warehousing needs. Our standard “One Touch” shipping solutions provide full shipment visibility and a Product Delivery Guarantee. Your customers are our customers, so if your product doesn’t arrive in the best condition, we will immediately make it right.
These commitments to exceptional value and service are why we are one of the fastest-growing logistics providers in the Midwest.
You have my commitment!
Most of what you need to transport or warehouse doesn’t fit neatly into tidy boxes, crates or containers. It doesn’t have to.
At Premier Freight we build a shipment plan focused around you. We call it Customer-Centric Logistics. Our team looks at supply chains and logistics holistically, from beginning to end. We don’t just look at your numbers on pure financial terms, instead we listen to exactly what you need and align our services to you.

Less than truckload (LTL) shipping allows multiple shippers to share space on the same
truck while full truckload shipments typically travel on only one truck with one destination.
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) allocates a specific number to each product
that could be shipped. That is the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) that pairs to the
freight class best suited for the product. It’s important to include the NMFC number on the bill of
lading to reduce chances of reclassification.
