Company recognized as a top player in third-party logistics
(3PL) transportation management
SHREVEPORT, La., Aug. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AFS Logistics announces
recognition by Logistics Management as a winner of the 2024
Quest for Quality Award, a gold standard for customer satisfaction
and performance excellence among logistics providers and others in
the industry. Through an invitation-only survey, AFS and other
recipients were rated based on service quality by Logistics
Management readers—qualified shippers and supply chain decision
makers that use service providers, carriers and port operators.
AFS is a winner in the third-party logistics (transportation
management) category, which ranks 3PLs according to a weighted
score based on carrier selection/negotiation, order fulfillment,
transportation distribution, inventory management and logistics
information systems.
"The acknowledgement from this very competitive award program,
affirming our position among the top in the field, speaks volumes
about the success of both our team and the investments that we have
made in our managed transportation services," says Brian J. Barker, Founder and Chairman of AFS.
"Businesses are hungry for cost efficiency and performance from
3PLs, as transportation markets simultaneously offer shippers
opportunities to exercise pricing power and challenge them to
defend against subtle, frequent price increases. Our transportation
management experts are in their corner with the technology, reach
and unrivaled data to achieve cost discipline and optimize their
networks."
Over the past 40 years, AFS has delivered proven managed
transportation experience, advanced tools and buying leverage for
less-than-truckload (LTL), parcel, intermodal, and international
freight. With access to over 100,000 proven and vetted carriers and
a suite of transportation technology that clients can use to
monitor and validate the company's work in real-time, AFS managed
transportation experts strengthen transportation networks by
enabling broader reach and improved responsiveness.
The annual Quest for Quality Awards are the culmination of a
six-month research project conducted by Peerless Research Group
(PRG). This year, over 3,100 ballots were cast to determine the 145
transportation and logistics service providers that earned Quest
for Quality gold.
