Logistics Plus Recognizes 2017 LTL Carriers of the Year

March 9, 2018
No Comments

ERIE, PA (March 9, 2018) - Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, recently recognized two of its less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers - Ward Transport & Logistics and Dayton Freight - for superior results and performance in 2017.

Logistics Plus, a top North American freight brokerage firm, delivers LTL services through its proprietary eShipPlus™ transportation management system (TMS) - an online platform made available to all of its LTL customers and select freight agents. Its annual LTL carrier awards are based on an internal and external assessment of the following performance criteria:

Annual Share of Business and Growth
Price Competitiveness
Service Performance
Billing Accuracy
Customer Service
Account Representation

For 2017, both Ward Transport & Logistics and Dayton Freight had equal overall scores across all performance criteria. As a result, both companies were recently honored as LTL Carriers of the Year by Logistics Plus. This marks the second consecutive year Dayton Freight has received LTL carrier of the year honors from the Logistics Plus staff and its customers, and the first for Ward Transport & Logistics.

"As a global 3PL, Logistics Plus provides a wide variety of diversified solutions; however, LTL freight management was one the company's first services, and it remains a core offering for us today," said Scott Frederick, vice president of marketing and LTL carrier relations for Logistics Plus. "Having high-performing LTL carrier partners is critical to our LTL services program. Based on our assessment of 2017 performance, Ward and Dayton both came out on top. I am grateful for the support we receive from all of our LTL carrier partners, but I would especially like to thank and congratulate Ward and Dayton for their excellent service in 2017."
