Each year, Taylor recognizes the partners who help our teams deliver for customers through our Annual Partner Awards Program. This program includes three awards: Carrier of the Year, Vendor Partner of the Year, and Logistics Partner of the Year. In 2025, we are proud to celebrate the 6th annual year of this program and the partners who continue to strengthen our work across the company.
For 2025, we are excited to announce Carter Logistics LLC as Taylor’s Logistics Partner of the Year.
A Company-Wide Award, Chosen by Our Team
What makes this recognition meaningful is how it is earned. Each year, employees across all locations and roles are invited to nominate the partners who make the most significant impact on their day to day work. Those nominations are followed by company-wide voting, ensuring the final selection reflects shared experience and consistent performance across the organization.
The Logistics Partner of the Year award is intentionally broad. Eligible partners may include a fellow 3PL, a warehouse partner, a freight forwarder, a customs partner, or other logistics service providers. The common thread is simple: dependable partners that support our teams and help us deliver strong outcomes for customers.
This year, Carter earned 80 percent of the total vote, a clear sign of the confidence and trust our employees have in their partnership.
Why Carter Stood Out This Year
Carter has earned a reputation with Taylor teams for reliability, responsiveness, and consistent execution. They are known for clear communication, collaborative problem solving, and follow-through, especially when it matters most. That kind of consistency supports our teams across the network and supports the customer experience we work hard to deliver.
“Our partner awards are driven by the people who work most closely with these teams,” said Steve Lutkenhoff Jr., Director of Logistics Services at Taylor Logistics Inc. “Carter stands out for their consistency, communication, and the trust they have built with our teams. Earning 80 percent of the vote reflects the impact they have across our organization.”
Looking Ahead
Taylor thanks Carter for their partnership and the day-to-day support they provide across our network. We value the relationship, the teamwork, and the reliability they bring to every interaction. We look forward to continuing this partnership, strengthening what we have built together, and driving shared success in the years ahead.
Congratulations to Carter Logistics LLC on being named Taylor’s 2025 Logistics Partner of the Year, and thank you to our employees for helping shape this year’s awards through nominations and voting.
