Triple Crown Named Top Intermodal Carrier by Logistics Management Magazine
Triple Crown Services Company was rated the nation’s best “Rail Intermodal Service Provider” by Logistics Management magazine in their annual poll of transportation managers.
In the 30th annual “Quest for Quality” survey, the magazine received over 6,000 responses evaluating freight carriers and service providers throughout the U.S. The August edition of the magazine unveiled the results, referring to Triple Crown as the “perennial top performer” in the rail intermodal category.
2013 marks the eleventh of the past thirteen years that Triple Crown was named the number one rail intermodal carrier in the Quest for Quality poll. This distinction is particularly important because of the survey’s wide polling base, objectivity, and methodology.
In their evaluations, logistics managers were asked to rate carriers on five key attributes: On-time performance, value, information technology, customer service, and equipment and operations. A weighted score then determined the winner. On its route to the top spot, Triple Crown was rated number one in performance, value, and customer service.
