Roadway has been recognized as the LTL Nationwide Carrier of the Year by the National Small Shipments Traffic Conference (NASSTRAC) for 17 consecutive years.
This was the 18th time overall of the 20 years the award has been presented that Roadway has won this award.
We were selected from a field of nationwide, regional or multi-regional less-than-truckload carriers. The award is determined on several criteria: overall high quality of service, superior performance in the LTL field, electronic data interface (EDI), innovation in quality service products, satellite tracking and other technology, service performance, loss and damage claim ratios, rating and billing accuracy, support of the association and its legislative goals.
We consider the NASSTRAC award especially significant. It is voted directly by its members, based on first-hand experience in working with us.
This year we visit 15 major league stadiums to create once-in-a-lifetime baseball experiences. The Times of Greatness mobile museum will be showcased at the National Truck Driving Championships (NTCD) in Minneapolis, MN in August.
Visit the Times of Greatness mobile museum when it is at a ballpark near you! Public viewing hours will be posted online shortly.
At Roadway, we continue to use and evaluate new engine oil and lubricant technologies to allow extended service intervals--greatly reducing waste product generation.
We continue to evaluate fuel savings initiatives and policies such as using computers to automatically shut down an idling engine. Aerodynamic modifications to tractor and trailer configurations are reviewed along with fuel efficient tires and tread designs. Read more.
