Overview

Paschall Truck Lines was started by the late L.W. Paschall and his wife Mary Frank Paschall in 1937. Mr. Paschall began his operation with a 1936 Ford truck, hauling anything he could just to make a living.

As the business began to thrive, so did the services offered by Paschall Truck Lines, and he began to haul general freight between Louisville, St. Louis, Memphis and Murray. By 1972, L.W. had grown the company to 35 employees and over 100 pieces of equipment.

L.W. sold the company in 1973 when he retired. By 1982, the company was providing truckload services to the 31 easternmost states and by 1986, PTL was offering service throughout the entire continental U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Communication is very good & service is a priority for this provider.

This carrier occasionally can struggle with being at the market with rates but can definitely sharpen their pencil on longer-term opportunities.
