Tyson Foods recently recognized Transplace, a provider of managed transportation services and technology, with its 2019 Premier Carrier Award.
Each year, Tyson recognizes a select group of carriers that consistently deliver the highest level of excellence in customer service, communication, safety and innovation. Transplace was recognized during Tyson’s annual core carrier conference as the only non-asset based 3PL to receive the award.
“Transplace has been a partner for more than 35 years with a superior track record of on-time and on-budget delivery across our entire North American network,” said Chris Kozak, associate director of contract carriers at Tyson. “Over the years, as we’ve expanded and developed new consumer-appealing food products, Transplace has adapted its transportation management technologies to support us in staying at the forefront of our industry. Transplace consistently rises to our toughest logistics challenges and remains flexible to the day-to-day changes in our dynamic schedules.”
Jay Moss, president of Transplace Specialized Services, said his company is grateful for the awrd and honored to work with an organization like Tyson Foods.
“In the more than three decades that I’ve been leading our 3PL strategies for Tyson Foods, it truly has been a collaborative relationship,” Moss said. “Our access to data from North America’s largest transportation management system allows us to offer cost management insights and unprecedented efficiencies of scale. The Tyson Foods teams are open to our recommendations and together we’ve overcome countless supply chain challenges over the years.”
Transplace provides truckload capacity solutions for Tyson’s entire North American transportation network. With access to $9 billion of freight under management and expansive carrier base, Transplace develops 3PL strategies to enable efficient movement of freight through the supply chain.
“Innovation demands innovation,” said Frank McGuigan, chief executive officer of Transplace. “Tyson Foods is always adjusting to address marketplace disruptions. Our successful partnership requires us to proactively upgrade our logistics technologies and processes as well. We enjoy collaborating with Tyson Foods because they understand that our transportation management solutions are vital elements of their supply chain strategy.
