ST. LOUIS – Mayflower Transit, one of the oldest and most recognized names in moving, was named one of the Top 100 Motor Carriers by Inbound Logistics magazine. Mayflower was one of the two moving and storage companies that made the list.

Mayflower was chosen by the magazine’s editors from more than 300 motor carriers, including the largest, most well-known companies and smaller niche providers. The main criteria was not the size or revenue of the company, but its ability to provide solutions that best meet the needs of the magazine’s more than 200,000 readers who are logistics professionals. The readers include senior managers as well as logistics, transportation, supply chain and purchasing professionals in businesses that currently use third-party logistics services.

"Given the growing acceptance of inbound practices, and the complexity of better
matching supply to demand, it's impressive to see Mayflower Transit providing the kinds of solutions Inbound Logistics readers need,” said Felecia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics.

“It's tough to keep up with customer needs in any environment, but the speed with which change is happening is a testament to Mayflower’s ability to continue to meet, and in some cases, anticipate customers' evolving needs. For that reason, Inbound Logistics editors have recognized Mayflower Transit as one of this year's Top 100 Motor Carriers."

"Mayflower is greatly honored to be recognized by Inbound Logistics for our achievements,” said Carl Walter, vice president of marketing for Mayflower Transit. “We are committed to exceeding our customer’s expectations and meeting their global needs. Mayflower has always focused on continued quality and has proven this by adhering to the strict standards of the ISO 9001:2000.”
