C R England, a Salt Lake City UT-based global transportation provider, has received the Chiquita Cold Chain Carrier of the Year Award. This award selects a carrier each year that provides Chiquita Brands International with exemplary temperature-controlled carrier services.
The Chiquita Cold Chain Carrier of the Year Award is awarded based on performance in temperature-controlled services and takes into account number of shipments between August 2010 and July 2011 and efficiency of refrigerated loads. The award takes into account every load shipped and selects the best cold chain performance for raw and fresh products.
“Protecting our cold chain is something we are extremely passionate about at Chiquita, and we take great care in selecting a recipient for this award,” said Josh Vipperman, transportation manager, Chiquita.
