NASSTRAC and the editors of Logistics Management & Distribution Report invite NASSTRAC members to provide nominations for the 2004 NASSTRAC “Shipper of the Year” award. Shipper organizations involved in what is considered “best practices” in LTL, small package or parcel shipping strategies are encouraged to nominate themselves or other NASSTRAC shipper members (carriers also are welcome to nominate shipper customers).
