Big Freight Systems Recognized by Customers with Second Consecutive Shipper's Choice Award from Canadian Shipper
For the second year in a row, Big Freight Systems has been chosen by readers of Canadian Shipper magazine for its annual Shipper’s Choice Award in the less-than-truckload division. The announcement marks the seventh time overall that Big Freight has won this prestigious award in the LTL and truckload categories.
The award is based on responses to the magazine’s survey from shippers, third-party logistics providers and freight forwarders in six divisions or modes across Canada. In order to qualify for the award, carriers had to receive a minimum number of evaluations.
Each year, the magazine conducts a survey asking respondents to set benchmarks on a scale of one to five to rank carrier performance they consider to be ideal among a field of key performance indicators (KPIs). The KPIs are on-time performance, quality of equipment and operations, information technology, competitive pricing, customer service, leadership in problem solving, ability to provide value-added services, and sustainable transportation practices.
“The magazine’s publisher and editors tell us that since the Shipper’s Choice award survey first asks participants to rate the importance of each KPI, then uses that rating as a weight when scoring evaluations, our company’s performance exceeded what shippers consider to be their ideal in the LTL division,” says Gary Coleman, Big Freight Systems president and chief executive. “We’re extremely proud to know that for the second year in a row, among the hundreds of LTL carriers Canadian Shipper’s readers evaluated, Big Freight Systems is one of only a select few they believe provides a service so superior it warrants this award.”
Carriers receive the magazine’s Shipper’s Choice Award only when their total benchmark of excellence score meets or surpasses the benchmark score for their respective carrier division.
“To be one of only a few dozen carriers in Canada among hundreds to be chosen by their shippers for this honor is a remarkable accomplishment for the people at Big Freight Systems,” says Don Daseke, CEO of Daseke Inc. “And then to earn that honor for the second year in a row, and seven times overall…well, that speaks volumes to the dedication of Big Freight and the consistency of the service they provide.”
