About PTS
A Michigan trucking company built on trust.
Founded and headquartered in Detroit, Pawell Transport Services is a family-run motor carrier that treats every shipment like it's our own.
Our story
Pawell Transport Services, LLC was founded to provide shippers with a reliable, no-nonsense partner for moving freight throughout Michigan. From our base at 14110 Mellon St in Detroit, Michigan, we operate a fleet of well-maintained power units staffed by experienced, CDL-licensed drivers.
We specialize in general freight, construction materials and heavy machinery — loads that demand careful planning and skilled handling. In 2025 alone, our drivers safely covered over 289,000 miles with zero reportable crashes and zero out-of-service violations on record with FMCSA.
Under the leadership of CEO Wafi Albarshini, PTS continues to prioritize what matters most to our customers: safety, reliability, and clear communication from pickup to delivery.

Safety First, Always
A zero-incident record isn't luck — it's the result of disciplined pre-trip inspections, hours-of-service compliance, and drivers who take pride in their craft.
On-Time or We Call
Freight either arrives on-window or you hear from dispatch before it's late. No surprises, no chasing status updates.
Straight Talk
A phone call reaches a person, not a queue. Quotes are firm, paperwork is clean, and we tell you what we can and can't do.
