This is the fourth time in seven years that Walmart has selected YRC Freight for this distinction.

“We thank Walmart for recognizing us for this treasured award,” said Darren Hawkins, President of YRC Freight. “Our employees work hard–every shipment and every mile–to make sure Walmart attains their goals. Walmart has high expectations for service and our team showed the ambition and commitment to surpass those expectations 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

YRC Freight’s national network offers significant capacity and coverage to Walmart and their suppliers. In addition, YRC Freight has engineered its network to accommodate the shipping needs of companies like Walmart and their suppliers with a high value placed on safety, service, communications and innovative shipping solutions.

“Over 20,000 YRC Freight employees work hard to provide solutions and meet supply chain needs,” said Hawkins. “Every single driver, every dock worker, every person at YRC Freight goes above and beyond to create the best possible customer experience–whether it’s one shipment or 1,000 shipments.”
