"Despite challenging times in the transportation industry throughout 2008, we continued to deliver absolutely reliable service to Lowe's," Fernandez said. "It is a great and well-deserved honor for our staff to receive this award that recognizes their incredible spirit and passion for excellence in customer service."
This recognition marks the third consecutive year Horizon Lines has received the Platinum Carrier Award. Each year since 2001, Horizon Lines has earned Lowe's Outstanding Ocean Service Provider Award for consistently providing superior service in the US domestic ocean trades to Alaska and Hawaii.
