Alliance Shippers Inc., a leading provider of global logistics services, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded Transportation Provider of the Year by Gorton’s Seafood.

“Alliance just does things right,” said Bruce Horne, Gorton’s transportation and warehousing manager. “They have excellent equipment, their technology is superior and their pickup and delivery performance is second to none.”

Key performance indicators tracked by Gorton’s include on-time pickup performance, on-time delivery performance, RAD, tender acceptance, accessorial timeliness, equipment quality, seal compliance, EDI compliance and claims.

“As the nation’s largest mover of refrigerated intermodal shipments, we take pride in putting a fleet of over 2,100 53-foot refrigerated trailers to good use, ensuring the integrity of our customers’ perishable products from pickup through arrival,” said Ed Wright, VP of the Alliance Shippers Temperature Control Division.

Notably, Alliance scored higher than not only other intermodal marketing companies but also leading over-the-road refrigerated carriers on its way to earning the award for the fourth year straight and five out of the past six years.
