PEI Air Services

We're as tough as your toughest shipment!

— Rob Shaffer - PEI Customer Service Representative

Founded in 1992 by Michele Wilson and Vicky Carver, PEI 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. 

Guided by a philosophy of dealing with others the way we want to be treated, PEI’s management and employees work to earn your trust and loyalty. Whether it’s a one-time need or an ongoing requirement, your objective becomes our priority.  If there is a legal way around a roadblock, we will take it. If a problem arises that cannot be solved, we will reveal the facts so that you can prepare as needed.

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.
