Job Description

Professional Transportation, Inc. (PTI) is a nationally recognized leader in the rail crew transportation industry, operating since 1980. With over four decades of experience, PTI has built a solid reputation for delivering reliable, safe, and efficient crew transportation services across various railroad networks. As the nation's largest rail crew transportation company, PTI serves vital roles in supporting the logistics and operational needs of the railroad industry by providing essential shuttle-like services to pick up and drop off train crews around the clock. PTI is committed to safety, quality service, and fostering a positive work environment for its employees. Their dedication to safety and quality is not only a company philosophy but a core operational priority, ensuring all employees and customers are well cared for during every transport assignment.

Now, PTI is seeking motivated, self-confident, and dependable individuals to join their team as Crew Transport Drivers in St Paul, MN. This role offers an exciting opportunity for those interested in joining a growing organization that values teamwork and safety. The position is ideal for individuals looking for a career where job security, daily interaction with clients, and a commitment to safety are paramount. As a Crew Transport Driver, you will be entrusted with the responsibility of safely transporting railroad crew members to and from their required destinations according to the railroads’ schedules.
