TTS LLC, one of the fastest-growing third-party transportation and logistics providers in the industry, has named Holland, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc., 2009 LTL Carrier of the Year.

In a recent ceremony, TTS presented its annual Carrier of the Year Awards to recipients in four distinct transportation categories including Rail, OTR, Drayman, and LTL.

To determine rankings, TTS rated its suppliers based on such criteria as on-time performance, ease of use, technology and revenue for the year from TTS. TTS agents and employees then voted to determine the winners.

"Service quality is a top priority for our team of professionals at Holland," said Jeff Rogers, Holland president. "It is an honor to be recognized by Total Transportation Services for doing what we have long considered to be the core of our business: providing an exceptional customer experience."

This marks the fourth time this year that Holland has been recognized for an exceptional customer experience. The company also has secured a 2009 Supplier Excellence Award for the fourth consecutive year from Eastman Chemical Company, a 2009 Regional Carrier of the Year Award from Echo Global Logistics, and a 2009 Carrier of the Year award from Hamilton Sundstrand Logistics Council.

During a conference call to discuss second-quarter results Tuesday, YRC executives said that both issues were being discussed but that the company wasn’t ready to provide an update.Full Story.....
