YRC Freight has been selected to receive the 2014 National LTL
Carrier of the Year award from Walmart. YRC Freight was chosen for
its outstanding service, effective communication, excellent safety
standards, and innovative solutions. The winner is selected by
Walmart's transportation executive team. This will be the third
time in 5 years that Walmart has selected YRC Freight for this
distinction. YRC Freight and Walmart have a long-standing
partnership serving the LTL needs of one of the most sophisticated
supply chains in the world.
"We are grateful that Walmart has chosen us for this prestigious
award," said Darren Hawkins, President of YRC Freight. "This means
a lot to us. With every shipment and every mile, our employees
worked hard last year to help Walmart achieve their goals. Walmart
has high expectations for safety and service and our team showed
the drive and dedication to surpass those expectations 24 hours a
day, seven days a week."
"Walmart takes great pride in cultivating relationships with
exceptional carriers throughout the United States," said Kevin X.
Jones, Vice President of Walmart Inbound Transportation.
"Partnering with companies like YRC Freight is essential to
accomplishing and exceeding our important goals."
YRC Freight's national network offers significant capacity and
coverage to Walmart and their suppliers. YRC Freight has engineered
their network to accommodate the shipping needs of companies like
Walmart and their suppliers who place a high value on safety,
service, communications and innovative shipping solutions.
"It really comes down to the hard work of 20,000 employees, day
in and day out," said Hawkins. "It's every driver, every dock
worker, every person at YRC Freight going above and beyond the call
of duty to create the best possible customer experience—whether
it's for one shipment or 1,000 shipments."
