Company Overview
Paschall Truck Lines, known everywhere as PTL, is an employee-owned truckload carrier in Murray, Kentucky, running dry van and refrigerated freight with about 1,100 company tractors and more than 3,000 trailers. The FMCSA filing from February 2026 shows 1,092 power units and 1,089 drivers under active authority. It runs over-the-road, regional, team and dedicated fleets across the continental United States and into Mexico, with terminals in West Memphis, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Laredo and El Paso, and it recently absorbed J&R Schugel. Orientation is held at the Murray headquarters. PTL's roadside numbers are among the better ones on this page for a fleet of its size: 2,041 inspections, 18 driver out-of-service orders, under 1 percent, and 298 vehicle out-of-service orders, about 15 percent. There are 116 recordable crashes in two years. One driver on this directory confirmed in 2026 that PTL was hiring drivers with a completed SAP program. As an ESOP, PTL is more conservative than the lease-purchase carriers about who it puts in a truck, so expect to be asked for the SAP's follow-up testing plan and for some verifiable experience since the violation. Its driver line is 800-225-7120. Ask specifically whether they will order the return-to-duty test or need it passed before you start.
