USFreightways Carriers Receive Quest For Quality Award

    ROSEMONT, Ill.--Aug. 25, 1999--USF Holland and USF Reddaway, regional carrier units of USFreightways Corporation, have been awarded the 1999 Quest For Quality Award from Logistics Management & Distribution Report magazine, a trade journal which covers the transportation industry. This recognition is announced annually and is actually awarded to freight carriers by their customers, who vote for the carriers they believe provided the best service for the year. Carriers are judged in five areas: on-time performance, value, information technology, customer service and equipment & operations. Carriers must rate average or above in all five categories to receive the award. Results of the study appear in the August issue of the publication.
