TRANSPORTATION CONSULTING FOR MANUFACTURERS
Helping Manufacturers Build Smarter
Transportation Strategies
I help manufacturers improve transportation visibility, simplify carrier management, and reduce the day-to-day challenges that come with managing freight. Whether you're shipping LTL, truckload, flatbed, or expedited freight, my goal is to become a transportation resource your team can rely on.
A MESSAGE FOR YOU
I Wanted to Personally Introduce Myself
Thanks for taking a minute to stop by. I work with manufacturers to help simplify transportation, improve shipment visibility, and solve the day-to-day freight challenges that can consume your team's time.
I recorded this quick introduction to give you a better idea of who I am, how I approach transportation, and why I thought it made sense to connect.
Services
Transportation Solutions Built Around Your Business
From LTL and truckload to flatbed, expedited, and specialized freight, we help build transportation solutions around your specific needs — giving your team access to the right carriers, capacity, and service without managing multiple relationships.
Make Transportation Easier on Your Team
Transportation shouldn't consume your team's day. Our technology centralizes quoting, shipment management, real-time tracking, reporting, and communication — giving your team better visibility across the operation and more time to focus on the business.
Turn Freight Data Into Better Decisions
Your transportation data should do more than show what you've spent. We help turn shipment history into actionable insights — analyzing spend, cost per pound, cost per mile, lanes, carriers, shipment volume, and more to uncover trends and identify opportunities within your transportation network.
A Partner When Things Don't Go as Planned
Freight doesn't always go according to plan. When issues arise, you need a partner that's responsive and reliable. I take great pride in communication, problem-solving, and follow-through — so your team has someone accountable from pickup through delivery.
TESTIMONIALS
CUSTOMER REVIEWS

" Priority1 has definitely improved on the way Sutphen operates. Priority1 has given Sutphen confidence and trust in shipping our outbound and inbound freight that it will arrive on time to our customers and that's why we keep coming back. Jack is a valuable asset to Priority1. His representation of your company is impeccable. The trust Sutphen has in him is beyond measure. Sutphen does appreciate all the hard work Jack puts in for our company to always make us a priority. Does not go unnoticed.” Melissa Williams – Head of Shipping
“The customer service has been a game changer. Jack is great to work with. He is always available and ready to help with all requests.”

"Oh gosh, where should I start. We no longer lose money on freight now. We run so much more efficient. Customer service never has to reach out to me anymore because they all have logins to the site. The website is so user friendly. Jack is always on top of it. I don't care how busy he is. He always has time for Trulite."
April Retherford - Shipping
★★★★★
"Priority1 has brought competition to our OD Flatbed shipping operations and was able to help drive down savings significantly from our spend last year. My favorite value that Jack brings is the personal approach and local contact. I can get tracking updates on their website rather than having to reach out, but Jack is always available in case I need to. Even on loads that didn’t go smoothly, Jack and his team’s response and adjustments are a main reason we have kept using Priority1.”
