Peninsula Truck Lines Wins Mastio Quality Award
Mastio & Company, a research-consulting firm, awarded Peninsula Truck Lines
winner as the best carrier among the Western Carrier Group and third overall
in its just completed 3rd Edition of the industry wide LTL (less-than-truckload)
Customer Value & Loyalty Study. Mastio & Company published the 3rd
Edition in September. The 2nd Edition was published in 2006 while the 1st
Edition was published in July of 2005.
The study’s findings are based on data collected by telephone interviews with
key decision makers of 2,485 shippers during June, July and August. Of 263
carriers rated nationwide, 40 carriers had sufficient ratings to be included
in the 2007 report. Shippers were asked to rate the carriers they use on 24
attributes important to customer satisfaction, loyalty and the value they
perceive their LTL carriers provide. Twenty-one of the carriers exceeded the industry
benchmark. Peninsula Truck Lines has been in the study for the past two years.
In 2006 Peninsula exceeded the industry benchmark.
The LTL study identified the factors most important to customers’ perception
of value & loyalty which are used to decide carrier selection. The five
most important factors identified were shipments delivered with no shortages
or damages, shipments delivered when promised, shipments picked up when
promised, effective problem resolution and competitive pricing. The
study also benchmarked carrier performance on those critical factors as to
whether the carrier's performance is better, average or worse than competing
carriers.
Study results are grouped in seven indexes: Overall, National Carrier
Group, Inter-Regional Carrier Group, Mid-Atlantic Region, Great Lakes/Midwest
Region, Southern Region, and Western Region.
According to Peninsula’s President Stan Vander Pol, “Providing personalized,
premium service for all our customers is our goal at Peninsula Truck Lines.
All our employees are dedicated professionals who care about our
customers and are committed to giving them outstanding service and total
satisfaction. To be recognized as the overall winner among Western
Carriers in customer value and loyalty is because of our employees and is
an honor for our organization.”
