Applauded for consistent execution and alignment to a strategic vision, CH Robinson has been named Driscoll’s 2014 US Carrier of the Year during their first annual carrier recognition event in Watsonville, California.
During the event, Driscoll’s supply chain executives presented awards to a select group of transportation providers based on their ability to consistently exceed Driscoll’s expectations as well as demonstrate understanding of Driscoll’s vision, mission, and values through their daily work.
“Driscoll’s is proud to honor transportation providers, like CH Robinson, that go above and beyond by acknowledging our unique and often challenging business and making sure that those practices and values are implemented every day,” said Michael van Horn, director of delivered sales transportation at Driscoll’s.
CH Robinson was recognised for its flexible transportation solutions that support Driscoll’s delivered sales through more than 40 shipping origins and flexible volume capacity during seasonal surges, as well as its high performance in areas like overall volume, tender acceptance, cold chain management, and on-time performance.
“The relationship between CH Robinson and Driscoll’s is one of collaborative understanding and open communication,” said Luke Gowdy, general manager at CH Robinson. “CH Robinson is committed to continuous process improvement in order to provide extraordinary service and help facilitate Driscoll’s mission.”
