Shipper of Choice Award
The Shipper of Choice Award highlights exemplary shippers based on insights from industry practitioners and feedback from transportation partners. Based on how shippers perform relative to their peers paired with a series of measurable and qualitative responses, the shippers who receive this recognition must first be nominated and then complete a certified survey conducted by the FreightWaves Research Group.
Presented by FreightWaves, in partnership with Transflo, the Shipper of Choice award recognizes the manufacturers, distributers and retailers who do the best job of keeping the American economy moving by fighting driver detention, providing accessible facilities, and understanding what it takes to remove inefficiencies from the supply chain.
This year, Shipper of Choice awards were presented to five categories: Best Overall, Efficiency, Facilities, Availability, and Above & Beyond.
