March 7, 2019
No Comments

ERIE, PA (March 7, 2019) - Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, recently recognized two of its less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers for superior results and performance in 2018. The annual awards were presented to the following carriers in each of two categories:

Dayton Freight was named, for the third consecutive year, the Logistics Plus Regional LTL Carrier of the Year (Ward Transport & Logistics was runner-up in the regional category).

Logistics Plus, as 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.

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

"2018 was a record year for Logistics Plus, and our LTL business segment was no exception," said Scott Frederick, vice president of marketing and LTL carrier relations for Logistics Plus. "Despite a very challenging year from a capacity and rates standpoint, Estes Express and Dayton Freight both stepped up their games for Logistics Plus and our customers, and for that we are grateful. I am also thankful for the support we receive each-and-every day from all of our other LTL carrier partners; but for this past year, we especially thank and congratulate Estes and Dayton for their excellent performance."
