"Through it all, we leveraged Yusen's guidance along the way to ensure we were able to work through a 49% increase in volume during peak 2020, over peak 2019, with minimal backlogs."


"It's an honor to receive these awards from Target as a testament to our Team's dedication to our customer's business," said Steve Frasco, Sr. Director Operations and General Manager, Yusen Logistics Contract Logistics Group.
