Why Choose Packair For Your FTL & LTL Freight Needs?

Next time you see a massive 18-wheeler trucking by while you’re sitting in traffic, or if you’re at the local grocery store and take notice of a truck docking in the delivery bay, don’t just think of it as a vehicle delivering the products that stock the shelves of your local consumer stores, but remember that the trucking industry a vital machine that spurs our nation’s economic growth.

Ground freight makes the world go round… Well, at least the delivery world. Less trucks on the road would increase the prices for all of our favorite consumer goods and result in slower delivery times. If trucking was removed altogether, then it would be impossible for our special deliveries to even arrive at our doorsteps!

Dependable Ground Freight, Trucking, and Delivery Services
