The companies providing logistics and transportation services to Wayne Farms are the final link to customer satisfaction, and Wayne Farms, along with its 3rd party logistics partner CH Robinson, recognized their critical contributions during the 3rd Annual Carrier Awards Banquet held September 20 at Lake Lanier Islands in Buford, Georgia. Carriers were recognized with awards in Local and Long-Haul Carrier categories, along with the 2017 Customer Service Award.
The 2017 Local Carrier of the Year, P&E Trucking from Talmo, Georgia, was acknowledged for its’ “above and beyond” performance, said Ken Esser, Wayne Farms Director of Inventory and Logistics. P&E’s proximity to the Wayne Farms Pendergrass Processing Facility proved to be invaluable. “P&E always went the extra mile, helping at the plant, keeping trailers refueled, even working weekends when necessary,” said Esser.
