Paramount Freight Systems jumps into the small carrier scene in award-winning fashion
By James Jaillet
A trucking company with no trucks is an apt description of the former intermediary, now nearly completely independent-contractor Paramount Freight Systems.
Its situation hasn’t held it back, though, and the all-owner-operator model has allowed it to make bids and acquire new customers, says company director Trent Dye, who’s been developing the small carrier since its 2008 start.
Its structure also hasn’t stopped the firm from meeting driver needs and expectations — the Truckload Carriers Association named Paramount the Best Fleet to Drive For in the owner-operator category.
