Isometric Technologies honors 50 transportation providers with service awards

Performance intelligence platform Isometric Technologies (ISO) announced Tuesday the winners of its third annual service excellence awards, recognizing the top 50 carriers by retailer, mileage band and region.

The ISO Excellence in Service Awards recognize the top 50 carriers based on the ISO Score, a composite performance metric comprising tender acceptance, on-time pickup and on-time delivery. Criteria for winners include having done at least 500 shipments in 2023, hauling for at least one ISO shipper (to qualify for the retail award) or earning an engagement score of greater than 0 on the ISO Scorecard.

The ISO platform compiles service data from over $18 billion in order revenue across various Fortune 1000 CPG, food and beverage shippers, evaluating more than 3,630 carriers.

Awards are categorized by region and retailer, with specific requirements for each, including minimum shipment counts and delivery locations. Mileage bands are defined to distinguish local, short-haul, regional, mid/long and long-haul carriers.
