“Working with Masterpiece / Peak Transportation has been the highlight of my career as an independent owner operator.  The customer base that they have built has kept me with consistent work that is a good blend of regional / local and drop-n-hook freight.  The facilities that we deliver to are low-stress and easy to access.  Masterpiece pays me every week and covers all of my back-office support, which includes billing, scheduling, paperwork, and dispatch (flexible scheduling.)  This allows me to focus and enjoy my home time, because I don’t need to tie up loose ends on my last load while looking for my next load.  They provide the equipment which includes good-looking trailers that also have some glamor (lights.)  The equipment is very well-maintained, and doesn’t leave you sweating while at the scale house, and doesn’t leave you stranded.  To me, the best part of working with this company is the people:  They are always eager to do the right thing and ensure that you are justly compensated for your work — even if that means it’s coming out of their own pockets.  I never have to worry about being left hanging, no matter the time of day nor the problem — I can pick up the phone and someone will answer.”

“I’ve been running with Peak Transportation for quite a few years.  They feel like a small family-oriented company.  To them, you are one of the team.  They can keep me very busy if I want — the money is good.  From the office to the shop, they are some great people to work for!!”

“What I enjoy most about working with Peak Transportation is the quick responses you get when you reach out — whether it is a problem or a question, they are willing to work with you in figuring it out.

After many years in the trucking industry, and seeking an honest company to work with, we found that with Peak Transportation.  From the dispatchers and payroll staff, to the maintenance team and even the Main Man himself — they have always treated us with respect and honesty.”

“The decision to work for Peak Transportation was one of the best decisions I have made.  The people in the office are so organized and caring; above all, they treat me like part of their family.  When I lost my father at the beginning of the year, they were right there to help with whatever I needed, and were beyond flexible with the hectic times.  Their load planning system is one of the most organized systems I have had the opportunity to experience.  Peak Transportation is all around one of the best companies I have ever hauled for.”
