Penske Logistics has announced its top-performing supply chain carriers for 2025, highlighting companies that stood out across its network over the past year.

“Congratulations to our 2025 award recipients,” said Tracy Urbanski, Penske Logistics senior vice president of operations, supply chain management. “They have proven to be elite members of our carrier network. Our customers’ freight needs are in great hands with these carriers.”

The awards were presented during a ceremony held at the Team Penske race headquarters in Mooresville, North Carolina. According to Penske Logistics, carriers were evaluated using an internal enterprise scorecard, supported by feedback from customers, operations teams, and sourcing departments.

How Carriers Were Evaluated

Recognition in programs like this is not based on a single load or short-term results. Instead, it reflects performance across multiple areas that matter to both shippers and drivers, including service reliability, operational execution, and overall consistency.

For drivers and fleets, these kinds of benchmarks often mirror what is expected on the road every day. Deliver on time, communicate clearly, and handle freight without issues. Over time, those habits are what separate top carriers from the rest of the field.

Why This Recognition Matters

Recognition like this reflects what carriers are doing over time, not just on one run or in one quarter. It shows which operations are consistently meeting expectations across different customers, routes, and conditions.

It also highlights how performance is measured behind the scenes. Scorecards, customer feedback, and day-to-day execution all factor into which carriers stand out. For anyone working in trucking, that reinforces the value of staying consistent, staying professional, and getting the job done right every time.
