GREEN BAY, Wis.--Aug. 29, 2006--Schneider Logistics, Inc., an international lead logistics provider and part of the Schneider National enterprise, today announced that it has been named a Top 100 3PL Provider for 2006 by Inbound Logistics magazine. This is the ninth consecutive year the company has received the honor, and the fifth year in a row it has been named among the top 10. The distinction is given to 3PL providers that have best demonstrated their ability to excel at meeting the changing needs and demands of their customers.
Inbound Logistics magazine is a publication dedicated to providing logistics managers with up-to-date industry information to better understand their customers and market. Each year Inbound Logistics asks its readers to vote in its "3PL Excellence Survey" on the company they believe to be the premier provider of 3PL services. Readers make their decision based on a number of specifications to determine which companies are the overall best logistics providers.
"To retain our position as a forward-thinking supply chain expert and logistics provider, Schneider Logistics is constantly evaluating the industry and anticipating what our customers require to succeed," said Tom Escott, president of Schneider Logistics. "The readers of Inbound Logistics assessed nearly 500 companies for the Top 100 list this year. It is an honor to know we continue to remain a lead provider in this ever-changing and demanding global market."
"It is easier for a 3PL to benchmark direct savings for customers as a result of optimizing a transport network or reducing an inventory-to-sales ratio," said Felecia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics magazine. "But it is just as important, in some cases more important, for a logistics partner to act as a business change agent, driving their customers' ability to grow, innovate and compete. That is what Schneider Logistics, Inc. does, and why we are happy to recognize the company as a 2006 Top 10 3PL."
