"We tried large national carriers but found that bigger isn't always better. The communication was strong with GP Transco, the equipment was good, and the drivers are next level."
Jeff Rusett
Director of Logistics & Fiber Strategies, PaperWorks
"PaperWorks is exactly the kind of partner we are proud to grow with — a company that values consistency, communication, and long-term commitment. Over the years, this relationship has grown into something far more meaningful than simply moving freight. It is a true operational partnership built on trust, dependable service, and a shared focus on doing what is right for the customer, the drivers, and the business as a whole. We are grateful for the confidence PaperWorks has placed in GP Transco and proud of what we have built together."

The Partnership Story
"I was really looking for a mid-sized carrier to jump in, look at our business, and become a dedicated carrier on the US side. So, I opened our book of business, showed GP, and the rest is history."
Since 2018, GP Transco has hauled over 8,500 loads per year for PaperWorks across 5 locations from Nebraska to Massachusetts — almost coast to coast.

"During the 2021 era of COVID, trucking rates went through the roof, and there was a lot of high-cost brokerage activity, and GP didn't gouge. They kept their service, and they kept their rates normal. It showed strong partnership and dedication to our business model, and I'll never forget that."
Jeff Rusett
Director of Logistics & Fiber Strategies, PaperWorks
GP TRANSCO PERSPECTIVE
A Relationship Built to Last
"Ever since GP Transco started running dedicated lanes, we have looked for partners who would work and grow our business together. Working through various obstacles with Stacey and Jeff, it was clear to see that they invest in the future and want to build a relationship. It is truly great to see a shipper that understands driver needs and is willing to have a dialogue for problem resolution."
