To Award or Not To Award…That Is the Question… (Or Is It?)

Everyone likes external validation. That is no secret. Companies enter contests, competitions, and events to see who will win first place or make the top 10. Annual rankings and “Top 50 Lists” permeate our culture. Everyone likes to be recognized, whether for a job well done or for meeting or exceeding a goal. And at Roadrunner we are no different. It’s thrilling when our shippers recognize us as their outstanding carrier of the year or we receive acknowledgement for being their most improved LTL carrier.

In fact, we made this cool video of some of our recent awards that are filling our trophy room for you to check out:

But is our constant drive and desire for awards just another “nuclear arms race” for external validation? Does the quest ever stop? Is it ever fulfilling? Or is it a dead-end path that ultimately leaves you empty and craving more?

While awards can be great, (and trust us, we’ll never turn one down, so keep ‘em coming) at the end of the day, we’d rather show you what makes Roadrunner stand out from other LTL carriers than tell you to see our list of awards.

So, give us the chance to prove to you what thousands of Smart LTL Shippers already know. That when it comes to LTL, Roadrunner is the Smart Long-Haul Choice. Our customers like the way we treat them and we find it gratifying to hear from satisfied shippers (we've had a lot of them lately!) But don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

Check out what a few of our customers say about Roadrunner:

"Since the revamp of Roadrunner's network, the service has been exceptional. They offer great service at an affordable rate and are now one of our go-to carriers." --Manufacturing Customer

"We love Roadrunner's Smart Guarantee service. Now I know that my LTL shipments will arrive on time when I need them there most." --Uttermost WC Distribution Center

"I'm very impressed with the 'new' Roadrunner. Pickups are made without issue, my product is delivered almost always on time with no damage. Keep up the good work." --Announcement Converters

So try us. You might just find it…”re-WARDing!”

Ultimately, what matters most, is not how many awards an organization or company has won, or how many customer testimonials they share. It’s how they treat their customers, how they provide service, how they own up to mistakes and take accountability, and how they become true business partners. And that’s a challenge we at Roadrunner are up for.

Ship Smart. Ship with Roadrunner.
