EXPECTATIONS
EXCEEDED.

PYLE PEOPLE DELIVER…

…ENDURING VALUES

EMPATHY

We strive to treat customers and fellow team members as we want to be treated.

CANDOR

We pursue open, honest, direct communication that builds trust.

CITIZENSHIP

We conduct our affairs in a union-free environment because we do not believe that the best interests of the Pyle stakeholders are served by the intervention of third parties such as labor unions.

SERVICE FIRST

We strive to exceed the expectations of customers and fellow team members in the performance of all job-related responsibilities.

INTEGRITY

We attempt to make the best long-term decisions even when it might be easier and more popular to make different short-term decisions.

PROFITABILITY

We recognize that profitable operations are what ensure the survival of our organization. Therefore, over the long-term, we make sure every customer contributes to profitability. In the short-term, we deliver SERVICE FIRST.

…AN ENTREPRENEURIAL FAMILY CULTURE

While remaining true to Alexander Duie Pyle’s founding commitment to service and integrity, each generation of the Pyle family and Pyle People have guided the company to new levels of innovation and capability throughout the Northeast while maintaining our unique culture.

…EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP

The men and women comprising our leadership team have diverse backgrounds. They came to Pyle in various ways — a few because of family connections (“What are you doing Friday night? I need help at work.”), a few who started in trucking or in supply chain labor, a few who began their careers in totally different fields. But all of them credit Pyle’s core values and commitments to their employees and their customers as a primary reason for becoming one of the Pyle People. Get to know them.
