2026 TRANSPORTATION PROPOSAL
ONE PARTNER.
ONE PLATFORM.
ONE POINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
A unified transportation solution designed around SAFT’s LTL and Truckload operations.
Priority1 is a multi-billion dollar freight service brokerage specializing in LTL, full truckload, and expedited freight.
Started as a shipper: We were founded in 1995 by our sister company Priority Wire and Cable, and starting as a shipper over 30 years ago has allowed us to have the knowledge of mitigating our shippers painpoints in order to solve them.
Local representation: We are a multi-billion dollar company, however, we have over 50 branch offices with local representation and care in ensuring our customers success. We often have that “mom and pop” feel as we put in a substantial amount of effort in working with our partners.
Privately held & debt free: Because we’re privately held and carry zero debt, we have the financial flexibility to focus on long-term customer relationships rather than short term shareholder or debt obligations.
Continuous Investing: These factors have allowed us to continue to invest in our people, technology such as our in house TMS system, and company overall.
Capacity and rate stability: With the resources of our asset-based parent company, Priority Wire and Cable (PWC), it has allowed us to pay carriers faster than our competitors and offers our customers better capacity and rate stability. We use our group purchasing power and industry-leading TMS to provide our agents with the necessary tools to control their freight and transportation costs every step of the way.
Mission: Our mission is to be the innovator and leader establishing lifelong partnerships with our customers, employees, vendors by exceeding their expectations through our people, technology, expertise, and value.
