PTL has the power to lead.

Paschall Truck Lines is an irregular route truckload carrier operating in the 48 contiguous states. PTL's nationwide operation as a carrier of general commodities developed from its transition from the LTL business to the truckload business in the early 1980's. PTL has developed an enviable reputation in the trucking industry with over 50 years of performance on America's roads.

Our level of success has been achieved through the careful selection of quality drivers and the best owner operators. Combined with a skilled management team, PTL's growth has risen steadily. Our number one product is service, which allows us to remain one of the top performers in the industry.

Corporate headquarters are located in Murray, KY. PTL also maintains terminals in El Paso, Brownsville, McAllen and Laredo, TX; Indianapolis, IN; Mobile, AL; Los Angeles, CA; Memphis and Nashville, TN.

Terminals and trailer pool locations throughout PTL's service area serve two purposes. Owner operators can be domiciled from terminals near their homes, and PTL can provide the quality service customers have come to expect.

It is PTL's goal to give owner operators as many safe and lawful miles as possible. Through the pre-planning and pre-loading of loads, PTL has maintained a 2,500 to 2,800 miles per week average for the fleet.

Once you have been on the road for five days or longer, you may request a load to get you home. Your fleet manager has from one to five days to get you there.

PTL runs its Operations Department with the Fleet Manager concept. The Fleet Manager's role is to obtain the most miles for the drivers under his direction and to get each driver home on a regular basis.
