About 1ST PLACE LOGISTICS LLC
One regional carrier. Three direct paths.
We started 1ST PLACE LOGISTICS LLC because shippers kept telling us the same thing: the freight usually arrives, but nobody tells them anything until it does. We built the opposite of that — a MCMINNVILLE carrier covering a multi-state region where communication is the product as much as the capacity.

Questions
The things shippers ask us first.
Do you broker our freight to somebody else?
No. What we accept runs on our own equipment with our own drivers. If a load does not fit the fleet, you get told that instead of handed to a stranger.
How quickly do we get a rate?
Usually the same working day. A lane we already run comes back faster than one we have to plan from scratch.
Can we get delivery paperwork without chasing it?
Yes. Signed receipts and dock photos go back to whoever asked for them as the load closes, not weeks later.
What happens when a load runs late?
You hear about it while there is still time to react. A missed window is a phone call, not a line item discovered at invoicing.
Operating notes
How the week actually gets planned.
Planning the week honestly
Capacity is committed against trucks that exist and drivers who are actually available, which is why some lanes get a no.
Winter and weather routing
Appointment risk is communicated before the truck rolls, not after a delivery is already missed.
What the first weeks look like
New drivers get their lanes, their dispatcher and their pay explained before the first trip, in writing.
