Renewed Mission For Payne

Payne Transportation opened its doors for business over 16 years ago. During those first few months we developed our Mission, Vision and Values that we lived by as we successfully grew our business.

Our Mission
We will Provide Quality, “over-the-road” transportation services that exceeds our customer’s expectations
Our Vision
We will expand our business through sustained and controlled growth that will continue to provide financial success to our company, employees and owner operators
Our Values
We will conduct ourselves with integrity, respect and excellence in everything we do

16 years ago, these were leading edge statements and very innovative. However; today, they stand for what we were more than who we are and who we wish to be. We long ago reached our vision and it is therefore no longer a vision. Our values have been copied by many and in fact are now a given in today’s world, in order to succeed long term. Therefore, we decided to review our statements at this year’s Leadership Conference and developed new ones that don’t change who we are, but define it better. A new vision to aspire to, and values expanded to include our integrity within. We are pleased today to introduce these new statements to you all. If we remember these statements and apply them to everything we all do, success will always be ours and our future bright.

Our Mission
Our life is the Highway, it is our culture; we are the driving force in providing transportation excellence
– We felt our life really is about the highway. It is part of our culture and it’s what we do. We wanted to integrate our slogan into our mission statement.
Our Vision
To be the leader in providing innovative transportation solutions as we grow our business, while maintaining our culture
– We wanted to set the bar high…we are a leader in innovative transportation but we want to be the leader. And we don’t want to ever sacrifice our culture in getting there.
Our Values
“No Payne, No Gain” is used to hold ourselves accountable to our commitment to high standards and excellence in everything we do
– Our Mantra has always been “No Payne, No Gain” but what did it really mean to all of us. We wanted our values to show clearly what it means. We hold ourselves accountable. We will go above and beyond to ensure success for all stakeholders…Employees, owner operators and our customers and never sacrificing to do so.

Learn them, live them… in everything you do.
