PS Legend James W. on Leadership
When you walk into the PS Logistics headquarters, the first thing you’ll notice is there are no traditional offices. Sure, some offices have doors. They’re made of glass, just like the walls. This was by design. No one in the organization is above transparency and accessibility. No one, especially CEO and co-founder Scott Smith. Before co-founding PS Logistics in 2004, Scott graduated from Auburn University with a degree in transportation. He cut his teeth in the industry at regional flatbed companies, meeting Robbie Pike along the way. After several years progressing through the ranks and being absorbed by a much larger and less personal behemoth, it was time to take everything they’d learned and create their own company, one focused primarily on its workforce. Scott and Robbie had ideas about how to streamline operations and increase efficiencies across all aspects of a flatbed business, but they wouldn’t have the chance to put those ideas to work until they had drivers. The drivers were at the heart of the biggest problem our founding duo discovered elsewhere. They were also the solution. The approach was straightforward – respect the drivers. Pay the drivers what they deserve. Prioritize the wellbeing of drivers and what works for them. Many of these drivers are still with us today and here’s how they remember those days. “I worked with Scott and Robbie in the past and they were good to me.” – PS LEGEND, Richard H. “I already knew Scott from a prior company. I came over with Scott and Robbie because they treated me with respect.” – James W., PS LEGEND, P&S Contractor of the Year 2022 “I knew Scott and Robbie from a previous company and they were always good to me.” – PS LEGEND Radford M. Richard, James, and Radford were among the first drivers to come aboard at PSL. They earned their LEGENDS Club status by driving with us for 15+ consecutive years and surpassing one million consecutive safe miles. These LEGENDS took the leap

Twenty years after Scott Smith and Robbie Pike introduced the PS Logistics (PSL) non-forced dispatch and percentage pay model, PSL is changing the game again with the launch of SEL Transportation. On the surface, SEL Transportation is the product of a merger between two Tuscaloosa, AL-based flatbed carriers, Southeast Logistics and DT Freight. While that is true – we combined the strengths of two successful PSL carriers to create a larger, more streamlined operation to better service customers old and new – there is more to the story. SEL Transportation is the next step in our evolution. It’s a marriage between PSL’s drivers first mentality, cutting-edge technology, and unprecedented offerings to independent contractors. Many companies are not transparent about line hauls and load options for independent contractors. Independent contractors working with freight brokers often wait weeks to receive settlements. Buying a truck? If you’re not paying cash, good luck finding a deal that won’t leave you in the hole long after the truck stops running. SEL Transportation is built for the Independent Contractor FIRST. With mobile-friendly load board options, contractors can see exactly what freight is available for them to choose at a moment’s notice. Not only do the operators choose their own loads, they choose how often they’re compensated. SEL offers same-day settlements, which means next-day compensation for contractors. Truck buying opportunities are different at SEL, too. SEL provides unique access to an exceptional equipment leasing business, Blair Leasing & Finance, which offers day one lease purchase options on a wide range of makes and models. These opportunities are paired with back office staff who work tirelessly to do all they can to ensure that contractors meet their own goals, whatever those may be. The trucking landscape has evolved, and so have we. Learn more about the next chapter of our evolution at www.SELTransportation.com.

Air Cuff Lock
Don't let the grinches get you down this holiday season - protect your equipment by taking proper precautions when you park and by using your air cuff lock! It only takes seconds to protect yourself from holiday theft. Remember to park in well-lit areas, check on your truck and trailer throughout the holidays, and be sure your freight is covered and truck and trailer stay together!

Did you get a clean inspection in December? Take your pick of $250 on your paycheck or in DFG points! If 70% of inspections this month are clean we are carrying the payday over through January, so don't skip that pre or post trip!

Pre-trip Safety
It's #SafetySaturday and we want to remind you that thorough pre and post trip inspections can save you time, keep you safe, and set you up for success. We have a whole series of pre-trip clips on our YouTube channel that will help you prioritize some of the most common violations, like lights, tires, and brakes. There are only a few business days left in the year and we are still paying $250 for all clean inspections, so don't let bad habits keep you from making extra $!

You can't make money if you can't pick up your load due to trailer issues. That's a fact. It's also an avoidable situation. That's right, if the driver before you reports a bad trailer, it will be fixed before being assigned to another driver. All you have to do if you find issues during your post-trip inspection is snap a pic and upload it in the PSL driver app! Great news, iPhone users - the bugs are fixed and you can report from your phone again! This holiday season, don't be a grinch. Report trailer issues in the app and earn DFG points!
