FourKites, the world's leading real-time supply chain visibility platform, has named USA Truck, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAK), a leading capacity solutions provider headquartered in Van Buren, Ark., to its Premier Carrier List (PCL) for the third quarter of 2021. FourKites' 11th consecutive quarterly list showcases the hundreds of brokers, carriers and 3PLs worldwide who are achieving the highest standards of visibility-related operational excellence across all modes of transport, as demonstrated by their ability to provide high-quality, consistent, accurate data on the vast majority of their loads.
In addition, Premier Carriers' pervasive use of real-time visibility data provides their shipper customers and the broader supply chain ecosystem with the ability to streamline operations, increase the speed of shipping dock turn times, reduce inventory levels and optimize labor costs.
"We are happy to be recognized by FourKites by being included in their Q3 2021 Premier Carrier List again," said USA Truck Senior VP George Henry. "This recognition illustrates our commitment at USAT to visibility for all of our valued customers. In this unprecedented time of Supply Chain disruption, our customers having insights to the location of their freight is paramount."
"USA Truck is a valued visibility partner to FourKites, and their status on the Premier Carrier List shows their steadfast commitment to providing visibility information that improves supply chain operations for their customers at this incredibly critical time," said Jason Eversole, Vice President of Carrier Operations at FourKites.
A public-facing version of the Premier Carrier List is available here. Customers and the public can now access and search the list through an updated interface that filters carriers according to capabilities, transportation modes, geographies serviced and other relevant criteria.
