For more than three decades, Logistics Management's Quest for Quality Award has been regarded as the most important measure of customer satisfaction and performance excellence in the transportation and logistics industry. The results are the culmination of a six-month survey of 4,725 ballots cast for the 'best of the best' in service across a number of critical criteria, including: on-time performance, equipment & operations, value, information technology and customer service. To be a winner, a company had to receive at least five percent of the category vote. Voting is by invitation only and the voter must have had experience with that particular provider at some point over the past year.
