WWEX Group has announced the recipients of its 2026 Carrier Awards, recognizing carrier partners whose performance and reliability support freight movement across its nationwide shipping network.
The awards were presented during the WWEX Group Partner Channel Conference and highlighted carriers that consistently delivered strong service, communication, and collaboration throughout the year.
Why Carrier Performance Matters to Drivers and Fleets
For truck drivers and fleets moving freight through WWEX Group’s network, these awards reflect the carriers that set the bar for operational consistency and customer service.
“Strong carrier relationships are the foundation of our ability to serve shippers at scale,” said Mike Grayson, CRO and executive vice president, WWEX. “Our carrier partners aren’t vendors — they’re collaborators. Their performance, communication, and commitment to service directly impact our customers’ success, and these awards reflect how critical that partnership is to our network.”
According to the company, the Carrier Awards are designed to recognize partners whose reliability and accountability help keep freight moving efficiently across complex supply chains.

Our carrier relationships are central to building a stronger, more resilient network for the long term.”
