Pacer Stacktrain is honored in 2006, for the third consecutive year, with the Quest for Quality gold award from Logistics Management magazine. Leading the Rail/Intermodal category, Pacer Stacktrain ranked above all other double-stack carriers.

The Quest for Quality Awards program, now in its 23rd year, is widely regarded in the transportation and logistics industry as an important measure of customer satisfaction and performance excellence. Logistics Management magazine considers recipients the “Best of the Best,” and adds, “walking away with a Quest for Quality gold is nothing short of a momentous achievement.”

Each year, Logistics Management and Reed Research Group (part of LM's parent company) survey readers who are qualified buyers of eight categories of transportation and logistics services. The 2006 Quest for Quality Awards are based on 6,300 responses. Survey participants are asked to rate the service providers they currently use on such attributes as on-time performance, information technology, customer service, equipment and operations, and overall value. Scores are weighted to reflect how much importance readers place on each attribute, based on a five-point scale. The weighted scores for each vendor in a category are then totaled, and the average weighted score for that category is calculated.

The names of Quest for Quality winners are published each year in the August issue of Logistics Management. The awards are formally presented at a ceremony in the fall.
