Today’s shippers believe Estes provides the best value of all its national competitors, according to the 2023 LTL Carrier Customer Value and Loyalty Study, conducted by research company Mastio.
Mastio’s annual LTL ranking identifies and quantifies the needs of LTL shippers throughout the U.S. and is a nationally recognized measurement of carrier performance, based solely on customer feedback. The study asks customers to rate carriers on a variety of metrics, including as on-time pickup and delivery, damages, shortages, pricing, billing accuracy, freight tracking capabilities, carrier responsiveness, customer service, and trustworthiness.
“We take great pride in the fact that today’s shippers believe Estes provides the best value of all national carriers in the LTL industry,” says Estes President and COO Webb Estes. “We’re so happy to know our customers see how committed we are to going the extra mile for them.”
The results of Mastio’s survey also revealed Estes is the only national LTL carrier to improve across each of the study’s top 10 performance categories. And the largest privately owned freight carrier ranked second place in Mastio’s overall National Carrier ranking for the second year in a row.
“We’re proud of the enhancements we’ve made this year to deliver an even better experience for our customers, but we want them to know we’re not done yet!” Estes says. “We have so many more exciting improvements to come that will make freight shipping even easier in 2024.”
