"Every year, leading third-party logistics providers of all

top 3PL providers. Landstar was selected as a Top 100 3PL Provider
because its solutions solve specific logistics challenges, improve
processes, and create a ripple effect of efficiencies for our
readers across their entire value chain," said Inbound
Logistics Editor Felicia
Stratton.
Inbound Logistics editors select the best logistics
solutions providers by carefully evaluating submitted information,
conducting personal interviews and online research and comparing
that data against their readers' global supply chain and logistics
challeneges. Inbound Logistics editors selected this year's
Top 100 3PLs from a pool of more than 300 companies. The service
providers selected in the 2016 list are companies that, in the
opinion of the magazine's editors, offer the diverse operational
capabilities and experience to meet readers' unique supply chain
and logistics needs.
