History
PAM Transport was founded in 1980 by Paul Allen Maestri. The company went public in 1986, and the holding company PAM Transportation Services Inc. was incorporated the same year.[1]
In the early 1990s, PAM began providing transportation services to Mexico under agreements with several Mexican trucking carriers.
PAM's trucking fleet
PAM Transport operates a fleet of over 2,300 trucks and 7,500 trailers.[2] Most of PAM's trucks are Peterbilt, Freightliner and International tractors that have an average age of 18 months.[3] PAM tractors also include various standard industry equipment, including air-ride cabs, Qualcomm satellite equipment, routing and directional software, and in-cab email service, and installed electronic logs on all units.
PAM Transport hauls dry-van trailers, and its fleet consists of 53-foot (16 m) trailers. PAM trucks are governed between 62 and 65 miles per hour (105 km/h) to conserve fuel as well as promote safer driving practices.
