GREEN BAY, Wis. — Schneider Logistics has honoured two Canadian carriers with its Carrier of the Year award.

The company made the announcement at its seventh annual Carrier Recognition Conference in Green Bay, Wis. Sept. 16. Representatives from more than 140 carriers attended this year’s event, with 19 transportation companies earning the Carrier of the Year distinction.

The two Canadian winners were Ottaway Motor Express of Woodstock, Ont. and TST Overland Express of Mississauga, Ont.

The Carrier of the Year distinction is presented to Schneider third-party logistics carriers that serve a variety of transportation modes and are deemed to 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, according to officials.

“Each year Schneider Logistics holds its 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.”
