2022 Shipper of Choice Winners
What is Shipper of Choice?
The term “shipper of choice” is used throughout the industry, but what does it take to be a good shipper? Driver friendliness, flexibility, accommodations, efficiency, and low detention times all come to mind.
The 2022 Shipper of Choice Award, in partnership with TriumphPay, recognizes the manufacturers, distributors and retailers who do the best job of keeping the American economy moving by fighting driver detention, providing accessible facilities, and understanding what it takes to remove inefficiencies from the supply chain.
Our goal is to recognize and honor the companies that rise to the level of a true Shipper of Choice as voted on by the industry itself.
