YRC Freight’s selection for this award indicates the carrier’s focus on providing superior LTL freight services.

“It’s truly an honor when a customer spotlights a job well done with ‘Carrier of the Year’ recognition,” said Jason Bergman, YRC Worldwide’s chief customer officer and President of HNRY Logistics. “It’s especially humbling when our transportation and logistics peers in NASSTRAC award our superior customer service.”
