Florida East Coast Railway recognized for service quality

Florida East Coast Railway outranked other rail-intermodal service providers for outstanding performance in Logistic Management's annual Quest for Quality survey, the railroad announced earlier this month.

The Quest for Quality poll examines key criteria used when evaluating and using transportation and logistics service providers. The survey then ranks the providers based on evaluation and purchase criteria, according to a press release issued by the railroad.

The survey received more than 5,400 responses from top freight decision-makers.

"We believe that customers are the lifeblood of our business, so we are absolutely thrilled to have them recognize our efforts," said Jim Hertwig, president and chief executive officer of Florida East Coast Railway.

The Quest for Quality recognition will be awarded Sept. 26 at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals' annual conference in Atlanta.
