A Message from Our President
Thank you for choosing Peninsula Truck Lines for your shipping needs. Our vision is to deliver excellence in every transaction.
We provide premium regional Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) service in the Northwest, aiming to be a seamless part of your business. The less you have to worry about your freight, the more time you can spend on what matters most—your core business. My dad, a former owner and president, often heard from customers that when a shipment absolutely had to arrive on time, they trusted Peninsula.
As a premium carrier, our rates may be higher, but our customers consistently tell us that the value we provide more than justifies the price. Put simply, while our rates may be higher, the total cost of doing business with Peninsula is often lower because of our reliability and service.
You may not know me personally, but my role is to support the team you interact with daily—ensuring they can serve you even better.
Sincerely,
Tim Vander Pol
President and Chief Steward
Peninsula Truck has been our “Go To” LTL carrier for over 16 years. They have provided service second to none. Once we place something in a Peninsula Truck, we know that our freight will arrive safe and on time. They are true to their word and have helped us grow over the years. We are huge fans of Peninsula Truck and will continue to support such a great company.
Peninsula Freight is our go to carrier in the PNW. Tukwila WA, Kennewick WA, Portland OR and Boise ID. The Seattle Terminal services the heck out of us. Casey and Jenifer are a quick email away, which for me is super important. I have so many things going on with my day, it is great peace of mind knowing I can send a quick email and it will be followed thru with. The flexibility Peninsula provides in servicing our freight needs is unmatched.
Peninsula Truck Lines is a critical part of our success as being the leading supplier of commercial construction weathersealing products. Peninsula’s fast and on time delivery give us the ability to prepare with confidence on when and where our material will be arriving in advance without the unexpected delays. Peninsula staff also allows us to ship to our local secure military bases with ease.
Peninsula Truck Lines has been instrumental in the success of our “out-of-area” delivery area. The professionalism and attention to the needs of our business is what has driven WAXIE to remain partners with Peninsula for almost a decade.
Over the past 10 years, Peninsula has been a valued partner and a major factor in us meeting customer expectations when it comes to moving product to them! Our sales reps and drivers prove to us daily that we matter as a customer and we look forward to another 10 years of growing because of Peninsula’s commitment and dedication to hauling our freight with care and concern!
For the past few years, Peninsula Truck Lines has provided Horse Guard with incredible customer service, timely pick up’s and deliveries, as well as providing a delivery for Donated products and supplements to help out evacuated horses from the Oregon Wildfires in September 2020. Horse Guard greatly appreciates the “Small Business” feel and outstanding Customer Service that not only the drivers provide, but as well as the office staff and sales reps!
Once again, nothing but praise for Peninsula Truck Lines. Consistently the best regional carrier there is. It is such a great feeling at the end of the day to know that the product you work so hard to make leaves your facility on its way to your customer in the hands of Peninsula Truck Lines. You know it will get there on time and intact. Whenever there is an issue (which is extremely rare) Peninsula’s customer service is always on top of it and resolve is almost instant. Having an easy line of communication with our account manager Rachel just adds to the confidence of using Peninsula. Keep up the good work Peninsula !!
We ‘ve been a customer of Peninsula truck for many years and their dedication and excellent customer service will keep us coming back for many more. We love all the drivers and our sales rep is the best. We recommend them to all our vendors and always get good feedback when we do.
Peninsula Trucking has proven to be a very reliable company since we started using them. They have great communication and keep us updated every step of the way. They provide great customer service and we have received good feedback on their drivers, from our customers. Peninsula always find a way to get the job done. I strongly recommend Peninsula Trucking for any freight needs you may have.
Over the last year, Peninsula has made over 800 deliveries for me. There is no way I would have been able to make these deliveries to my costumers without Peninsula’s help. If anyone can, Peninsula Can!
Peninsula Truck has been our carrier of choice to handle our daily and weekly warehouse transfers with an early morning requested delivery for the past five years. They meet or exceed our expectations with every challenge we put in front of them. Our sales rep, Tom, takes good care of us and does his best to fix any issues that come up in a timely fashion.
Finding the right carrier to handle your product is not an easy task. Servicing our customers is our #1 goal and Peninsula Truck Lines has greatly helped us with a clear objective on getting our product to the customer in a timely, and safe manner. They have worked with us to reduce shipping cost, reduce damages and to streamline communication to our customers. Kurtis Vander Pol, our Account Manager, has gone over and above at carrying out the requests of us and our customers. Him along with the drivers have been a pleasure to work with. We are excited to continue using Peninsula Truck Lines as our main carrier in servicing the Pacific North West.
Without a doubt Peninsula Truck Lines is our most reliable, dependable and easy to work with freight carrier we do business with. We have been working with them for decades and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. From receiving a quote, scheduling pickups and the very few and far between freight claims their customer service and dispatch is by far the easiest to work with. Their drivers are professional, skilled and friendly. I’m always comfortable recommending them to handle freight and consider them to be the premier freight carrier in the Pacific Northwest.
