With double-brokering and fraud growing as issues in the trucking industry, PGT will use Highway as its primary solution for carrier identity.
Premier Global Transportation, a leading non-asset third-party logistics firm, is thrilled to announce its new partnership with Highway, a provider of revolutionary carrier identity technology.

“We are confident that Highway’s integration with our top-notch TMS will speed up our carrier vetting and set-up process, which is a win for all parties involved,” said PGT Vice President of Administration Cassie Laker. “Our team has already become more efficient and our carrier partners more reliable — all of which allows us to service our customers at the highest level possible.”
