NFI lands transportation award from Lowe's

Third-party logistics (3PL) provider NFI Industries said it had received the 2017 Transportation Partnership Award from home improvement and appliance retailer Lowe's Companies Inc.

Lowe's also named NFI as its North Dedicated Carrier of the Year in awards presented March 15 at the retailer's annual Transportation Conference in Mooresville, N.C., Cherry Hill, N.J.-based NFI said.

NFI said it was honored for providing a high level of dedicated fleet solutions to Lowe's and that the award followed a similar recognition last year, when Lowe's named NFI as its "Carrier of the Year" based on overall high performance and level of customer service during 2016, and presented the firm with its Platinum Carrier Award for on-time service.

NFI made the announcement last Wednesday.
