Logistics Management Best Practices Gold Award: The Fine Art of Persistence
Craig Cover, the truckload team’s logistics manager Frank Dreischarf, and the entire truckload sourcing team at Ashland Inc. are this year’s Logistics Management Best Practices Gold Medal winners. The formation of the team and the unified TL transportation program have helped the company make decisions based solely on what’s best for the overall company—not one particular division. In the first year alone, Ashland reduced its line-haul costs for TL shipments by 5 percent.
