Newsweek Names Forward Air as One of the
Most Trusted Companies in America
"Trust will always be central to our business, and we will
continue finding new ways to uniquely meet the needs of and deliver
value to our customers and partners. Since the beginning of the
pandemic, the logistics and transportation industry has played a
critical role in keeping the economy moving and maintaining a level
of normalcy in commerce and everyday living," said Tom Schmitt, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Forward Air.
In its inaugural year, Newsweek's America's Most Trusted
Companies list is focused on giving investors, consumers, and
prospective employees an insightful tool to help determine which
companies deserve their trust. The list of honorees was developed
through a thoughtful review of financial information on publicly
traded U.S. corporations in 22 industries with $500M or more in annual revenues, as well as
consumer feedback. A survey was distributed among 50,000 U.S.
residents to determine if they believed that companies treated
their customers and employees fairly and if those companies should
be considered a smart long-term investment. The result is a list of
400 companies Americans trust the most, ranked by industry.
"Being recognized as one of America's Most Trusted Companies
showcases that we are really making a difference within our
communities and our industry," Schmitt said.
In addition to being named one of America's Most Trusted
Companies, Forward has been recognized with two other honors this
year, including Surface Carrier of the Year by the Airforwarders
Association (AFA) and The Home Depot Appliance Carrier of the Year
by The Home Depot.
