Swift Transportation Co., Inc., North America’s Best-in-Class transportation solutions provider, set themselves apart from the field of competitors in the transportation industry this week. Swift was recognized by Walmart as their 2008 Truckload Carrier of the Year. Year after year, Walmart and Swift continue to build a mutually beneficial relationship based on trust and credibility. With its Best-in-Class philosophy, the “New Swift” continues to win awards, and their customers, including the retail giant Walmart, are seeing the benefits. Swift is going above and beyond to service their customers and continues to exceed expectations.

The Walmart and Swift relationship has grown exponentially over the past decade. Their mutual success relies on the collective ability to develop and execute win-win solutions throughout North America. Walmart leverages Swift Transportation’s size, strength and stability to anchor the most complex and efficient supply chain in the world. Some highlights of the relationship are as follows:

  • The Carrier of the Year award for 2008 was presented at Swift Transportation’s corporate headquarters in Phoenix, AZ. The award was presented by Ken Braunbach - Senior Director, Carrier Relations, Nathan Adams - Senior Manager, Carrier Relations, Brittany Smith - Compliance Manager, Carrier Relations, and Sarai Gomez - Senior Manager, Carrier Relations.
