Schreiber, Kraft Heinz and Aldi USA win carrier recognition awards

Three major shippers earned industry recognition for their partnerships with trucking carriers at the F3: Future of Freight Festival in Chattanooga on Monday. The Shipper of Choice awards evaluated companies on data connectivity, ease of doing business, carrier relationships and facility operations. Voting emphasized practices that benefit trucking partners. Schreiber Foods prioritizes long-term carrier relationships through consistent annual freight bids and drop trailers that reduce detention. Kraft Heinz emphasizes transparency with weekly scorecard calls and frequent carrier feedback collection. Aldi USA stood out for predictable facility operations and reliable scheduling, with one carrier managing approximately 150 loads weekly into its network. Winners were selected for investments that improve driver productivity and carrier conditions, addressing detention delays and operational inefficiencies that reduce driver earning potential.
