The awards closed the first day of eyefortransport's sixth annual 3PL Summit where CEOs and senior management from leading 3PLs and logistics executives from multi-national shippers meet to discuss industry trends and best practices.
The entries were nominated solely by customers and for six weeks, 3PL customers across North America were encouraged to vote for the best 3PL providers in each category.
As the lights at the fox theatre were dimmed and the winners were announced to uproarious applause, Rodrigo Canete, Global events Director of eyefortransport, remarked on the extremely high level of service represented by this year's nominees.
