OAK BROOK, Ill., April 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hub Group (NASDAQ:
HUBG) announced today that it has received the Intermodal Carrier
of the Year and the Platinum Service Award honors from Lowe's
Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) for the fifth and sixth year in a row,
respectively. A FORTUNE® 50 home improvement company,
Lowe's serves approximately 16 million customers a week in the
United States, Canada and Mexico.
"It's hard to express how proud we are to have such an
outstanding relationship with a distinguished organization like
Lowe's," said David P. Yeager,
Chairman and CEO of Hub Group. "We are again humbled to be
recognized for our service and expertise, and more determined than
ever to keep the streak going in 2017 and beyond."
To attain Lowe's Platinum Service Award, the highest service
award Lowe's presents to its transportation providers, companies
must achieve a total score of at least 99 percent on a combination
of three weighted criteria: on-time percentage, EDI compliance and
load acceptance. Hub Group was the only intermodal carrier honored
in 2016. While noteworthy, Hub Group's accomplishment was far from
unique, as Lowe's has named Hub Group a Platinum Service Award
winner every year that the company has been eligible.
In addition to company honors, industry professionals from more
than 100 carriers in attendance at the Lowe's awards ceremony
competed for four Outstanding Customer Service Awards. Hub Group's
Account Manager Andrew Greenaway was
named a winner for the second year in a row, becoming the only
person to receive this prestigious award twice.
