Perkins Specialized:
Where Owner Operators Go for the Best Careers
Perkins Specialized has been helping Owner-Operators take their careers to an extraordinary place since 1913, a tradition that continues today.
"We consider Perkins a place where extra effort really pays off," says Andy Card, owner of Perkins Specialized. "With our exceptional pay scale and outstanding advantages, there isn't a better place for Owner-Operators to succeed."
Perkins is an irregular route, time sensitive, full truckload carrier operating in all 48 states and serving the office furniture, tradeshow, kitchen cabinet, and store fixture industries. "This type of freight is specialized which allows Perkins to compensate its Owner-Operators with a pay package that is second to no other carrier serving our niche," says Card. "For this kind of freight, we need top drivers so we offer the best possible package for income, safety, and home time."
Perkins Specialized provides the opportunity to earn up to $1.35 per mile plus other incentives such as weekly settlements, paid deadhead miles, safety bonus program, 100% fuel surcharge paid to driver and weight tickets reimbursed.
"We offer so much because we respect our Owner-Operators, and treat them with integrity," says Card. "They put a lot into their work so they should get a lot back. We make sure we compensate them for what they deserve."
Recently, Perkins Specialized added routes in the SE & SW states and the West coast. "These new routes mean new opportunities for dedicated, professional Owner-Operators," says Card. "Perkins offers the great future Owner-Operators dream about having."
