Con-way Freight Named 2009 National LTL Carrier of the Year by GlobalTranz
ANN ARBOR, MI--(Marketwire - 05/26/10) - Con-way Freight, a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE:CNW - News), today announced that it has been named 2009 National LTL Carrier of the Year by GlobalTranz, a logistics and supply chain management firm specializing in carrier, supply chain and warehouse management. This is the first award for Con-way Freight since GlobalTranz began recognizing carriers five years ago.
Con-way Freight has served as a core carrier for GlobalTranz since 2008, handling the company's needs for regional and national LTL service. The company evaluates carriers annually for its carrier of the year award on a range of criteria, including on-time pickup and delivery, customer service, billing accuracy, driver skill and overall brand reputation. GlobalTranz presented the award to Con-way Freight at its recent annual carrier convention in Las Vegas.
Con-way Freight is a top-tier service provider in all respects -- from the movement of product to the people behind the scenes who bring the overall solution together, said Michael Bookout, vice president of sales and pricing for GlobalTranz. With its commitment to our strategic partnership, Con-way Freight helped us mitigate challenges and achieve service goals for our customers. We look forward to experiencing the same success this year.
It's gratifying to know that Con-way Freight is delivering on its promise of exception-free delivery, on-time service performance and faster transit times for GlobalTranz, said John G. Labrie, president, Con-way Freight. Every employee who works with GlobalTranz -- from our drivers to our customer service representatives and our sales and operations teams -- should be proud of this honor, which was earned through their dedication and commitment to excellence. We thank GlobalTranz for this honor and look forward to contributing to their goals.
