    “Our dynamic relationship with Walmart dates back a quarter of a century, and our value is always an evolving function of our alignment to Walmart’s vision,” said Michael Gore, key account manager at C H Robinson. “We focus on hearing their organizational initiatives and being adaptable to ensure our efforts are exceeding their expectations in the competitive retail landscape.”

We heard the challenge and recognized our ability to leverage our people, our processes, and our technology to continue to help Walmart meet its goals,” said Rob Kinsella, strategic account manager at C H Robinson. “To be honored with the second consecutive 3PL Carrier of the Year award is both gratifying and inspiring to continue to build our value to Walmart.”
