The Primary Story

Founded in 1997 as Primary Transportation Services, Inc., Primary Companies began as a small operation with fewer than 10 employees. Over time, we have grown—driven by the trust and loyalty of our long-standing customers and the evolving needs of new partners eager to experience the value we bring.

Today, Primary Companies has expanded into a multi-faceted organization with over 80 employees and a diverse portfolio of services. In addition to Primary Transportation, we proudly encompass Primary Products (Pallet Production & Distribution), Primary Saw & Timber, and Primary Freight, ensuring we meet the shifting demands of the industries we serve.
