Corporate History
Founded in 1992 by Michele Wilson and Vicky Carver, PEI Logistics began as a small air freight
forwarding company in Atlanta, GA. Innovators but not risk-takers, we think outside the box
while assessing the most reliable ways to make our customers successful. As a truckload carrier,
truck brokers and air freight forwarders we specialize in delivering the best solutions available—
especially the “never been done before” challenges.
We are gratified that a diligent, straightforward approach to business is as rewarding to our
clients and vendors as it is to us. Our grassroots company, which has grown primarily through
referrals, is now a multimillion-dollar enterprise. Today, we take pride in our ability to provide
custom logistics and shipping services to clients nationwide.
PEI’s niche exists in providing non-standard, critical shipping solutions. We have been
instrumental in managing the supply chain within industries including: pharmaceuticals, aircraft,
medical, automotive, and have extensive experience in managing tradeshow transportation.
In the tradeshow business time is -- quite literally -- money. It's more than a metaphor. That's
why experienced planners and shippers rely on the seasoned professionals at PEI. We work with
you -- before the show, on the show floor and during load out -- all the way through the post-
show paperwork to keep you on schedule and on budget.
