Little Rock, AR-Priority1, une société de logistique de premier plan, fondée au cœur de Little Rock, a récemment mis en place un plan d'action visant à créer plus de 200 emplois à travers les États-Unis, dont 100 rien que dans sa ville d'origine en 2020. Les postes concerneront la comptabilité et la finance, le service à la clientèle et les rouleaux de soutien, les opérations, ainsi qu'un grand nombre de postes dans le domaine de la vente. Priority1 louera également un troisième site dans le centre-ville de Little Rock pour soutenir la croissance exponentielle de ses équipes. Priority1 offre notamment à ses employés des prestations médicales familiales payées à 100 %, un plan de participation aux bénéfices substantiel, ainsi que des possibilités de mobilité ascendante.

"Priority1 a la chance de se trouver au milieu d'un cycle de forte croissance. Nous avons connu un succès exceptionnel en puisant dans le vivier de talents de Little Rock et nous prévoyons de continuer à le faire. Nous offrons des avantages sociaux de premier ordre, notamment des soins de santé familiaux et un programme de participation aux bénéfices très généreux. Le capital humain de la région de Little Rock continue d'être un avantage considérable pour notre organisation et contribue de manière décisive à nos 25 années de croissance. Little Rock a été bonne pour nous et il est agréable de pouvoir continuer à embaucher agressivement sur le marché de Little Rock. Priority1 a largement dépassé les engagements pris l'année dernière auprès de l'AEDC, de la Chambre de commerce et du maire Scott. Nous prévoyons d'ajouter près de 100 employés à Little Rock et nous allons presque doubler nos effectifs dans tout le pays en 2020". - Dan Berardi, directeur général de Priority1.

In an industry that is always changing and evolving, Priority1 must also change and evolve. Priority1 is ecstatic to share that they now offer many additional services catering to our number one fans, our customers. In the last 24 months, we’ve added five new services and developed respective support teams to ensure our customers’ freight makes it to its end destination without a hitch. Priority1 broke ground in 1995 with your basic less-than-truckload (LTL) and full truckload (TL) services. Teaming with MercuryGate, we created a one of a kind third-party logistics brokerage. We continue to climb the logistics ladder and now proudly offer expedited, dry van, flatbed, temperature-controlled, and carrier sales services.

“When your Priority is temp-controlled, we know how to keep it cold” — Calvin Jones, Manager of Temperature Controlled Operations. No one likes spoiled milk, especially Calvin! Our fully loaded temperature-controlled services are equipped with downloadable trailers and live temperature monitoring with compatible TempTale® Data Monitoring service, temps going as low as -20 degrees. We have the ability to access and integrate into our customer’s supply chain and monitor the temperature with those devices. Talk about a deep freeze!

Moving freight isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Sometimes it’s a multi-modal project. Our dry van team is equipped to handle all the needs of our customers. From partials and full loads to hazmat and inter-modal, we can move it! We even have a group of specialists that can assist with trade shows, tanker endorsement, and additional specialized truckload services as well.

Given the years of experience the flatbed department at Priority1 has, and the relationships our department members have cultivated over the years with some of the largest asset-based, over-dimensional flatbed companies in the United States, we have access to top-notch equipment for freight of all sizes. We are able to provide unparalleled service to customers regardless of the size of the product being moved and we will utilize whatever equipment is necessary to ensure the load is handled with care. No load is ever to heavy or too big for us.

“Every day is different when it comes to expediting with high-pressure shipments…Priority1’s expedited team thrives on it and enjoys the constant communication with the customer on the time-sensitive freight.” — Jimmy Andersen, Manager of Expedited Operations. Jimmy has been an expedited rock star since we brought him to Priority1 and we couldn’t be happier with what he’s been able to create for our customers. Our expedited services include sprinter vans, hotshots, straight trucks, cargo vans, and even air freight. When it needs to get somewhere, we will make sure it gets there! Our team also is equipped with spot market pricing, cost-effective equipment, real-time communication & coverage, GPS tracking and 24/7/365 support.

Our carrier sales team works diligently to ensure we are always getting the best pricing for our customers. The team sources carriers for all full and partial loads that come through the corporate office. The vast amount of carrier relationships we have enables us to buy aggressively, many times below market value. They also track loads throughout the life-cycle of the shipment.

When we say we are truly a one-stop-shop for all your logistics needs, we mean it. With the growth and evolution of the industry, Priority1 has also grown and evolved to make sure all our customers’ needs are being met to a T. With all the new services we offer, and the support to back them, we truly are listening to our customers and giving them what they need to successfully move their freight. “I am proud of the team we have put together at Priority1.  Over the past few years, we have added to our core competencies so we can confidently say that we have the most robust and customer-centric truckload offering in the industry.  By leveraging our strong reputation in the dry van space, we have expanded it to expedited, flatbed, and temperature-controlled freight over the past 24 months providing our customers best in class support across all modes and making us a true one-stop-shop.” — Chris Olsen, Vice President of Truckload.
