ArcBest carrier ABF Freight received two Quest for Quality Awards, in the National LTL and Expedited categories. ArcBest's premium logistics provider Panther received an award in the Expedited category, and U-Pack, a service of ArcBest, was honored in the Household Goods & High Value Goods category.

"The growth of e-commerce and the subsequent evolution of omni-channel fulfillment has changed the game for both retailers and manufacturers, shortening lead times across the board," said Michael Levans, group editorial director of Peerless Media, the publisher of Logistics Management. "According to the readers of Logistics Management, the list of carriers and service providers receiving a Quest for Quality Award this year have been equal to the task, matching their ever-demanding service needs and helping them keep pace with the new speed of global business." 

The 2017 Quest for Quality Awards are featured in the August issue of Logistics Management. Winners will be honored at the 34^th annual Quest for Quality Gala Awards Ceremony in Atlanta on Sept. 26.
