Curt Metzler, Alcon’s senior manager of global transportation, presented the award to Jim Richards, KLLM president and chief executive officer; and Travis McCain of KLLM Transport Services/Frozen Food Express (FFE). KLLM/FFE was selected for the award based on five factors including: service quality and performance, loss and damage events, customer service, claims resolution, and overall commitment to partnership.
