- NASSTRAC announces the recipients of its 2007 Carrier of the Year, an annual program that recognizes transportation providers on a quantitative scale in five key areas: customer service, operational excellence, pricing, business relationship, leadership and technology.
This year, NASSTRAC regular members who are qualified buyers of transportation services graded carriers they use on a 4-point scale in the following categories based upon regional scope and capabilities: National, Multi-Regional, Regional-Northeast, Regional Southeast, Regional West, and Parcel. Due to significant growth NASSTRAC has experienced as a result of its expanded coverage to all transportation modes, two new categories were added this year: Regional-Midwest and Expedited.
