GREEN BAY, Wis. — Schneider Logistics hosted its sixth annual Carrier Recognition Conference in Green Bay, Wis. Sept. 17-18, playing host to representatives from more than 140 carriers. The conference’s highlight came Sept. 18, when 16 transportation companies, including two Ontario-based ones, were honoured with Schneider Logistics’ Carrier of the Year award.

The Carrier of the Year distinction is presented to Schneider third-party logistics carriers that serve a variety of transportation modes and excel in operational performance, exceptional service and ease of conducting business. Carriers recognized at this year’s conference represent the top 1% of service providers moving freight on behalf of Schneider Logistics’ customers.

“Each year Schneider Logistics holds our Carrier Recognition Conference to thank and recognize those core providers who deliver the capacity and high-level service for which Schneider is known,” said Bill Miller, vice-president of supply chain management at Schneider Logistics. “Because these carriers are an extension of Schneider, we count on them to deliver each and every load safely, on-time and with great professionalism.”

Included in the group of 16 were two Canadian carriers: Kingsway Transport of Mississauga, Ont. and Ottaway Motor Express of Woodstock, Ont.
