Quest for Quality Award for Western Regional LTL Carrier

The staff at Peerless Research Group (PRG) and Logistics Management magazine are pleased to inform you that your company is a recipient of a 2023 Quest for Quality Award.

For nearly four decades, Logistics Management’s Quest for Quality Award has been regarded in the transportation and logistics industry as the highest measure of customer satisfaction and performance excellence.

What makes the Quest for Quality stand out among all other industry awards is the simple fact that the winners are determined by Logistics Management readers, qualified buyers of transportation and logistics services, who put their carrier and service partners to the test around the clock, around the country, and around the world.

The results of our Quest for Quality survey is the culmination of a six-month undertaking in which 3,512 ballots were cast for the "best of the best" in service excellence across a number of criteria—and your company has been recognized for its outstanding performance during these unprecedented times.
