Our carriers at Echo Global Logistics continually deliver high quality service. Though the industry in which they operate often sees challenges, from volatile market fluctuations to natural disasters which impede carriers’ ability to drive, Echo’s carrier partners continue to find the means to meet tight delivery dates on time, keep freight moving, and provide exemplary service. We appreciate this dedication and applaud our carriers for their high performance and support of both Echo’s clients and expert teams.  

To further express our appreciation, we’d like to recognize a few of our carriers who stood out in particular for our annual LTL Carrier of the Year awards. 

Since 2008, Echo has been recognizing LTL carriers based on the outstanding service and value they provide to our shippers. The honored winners have proven to excel at delivering high levels of customer satisfaction and demonstrating a robust value proposition, resulting in growth within our network. Specifically, awardees were selected based on YOY shipment and revenue growth, on time performance, communication, invoice accuracy, claims, customer service, responsiveness, website effectiveness and functionality, IT cooperation/integration, and overall quality. Winners that serve regional markets as well as the national market are both recognized.
