Greenville, SC – November 18, 2015 – M33 Integrated, a Greenville-based third party logistics (3PL) provider, is proud to honor Holland as its 2015 LTL Regional Carrier of the Year. Presented by M33 at its Carrier Appreciation Banquet on Thursday, November 12, this award recognizes the performance of Holland in the areas of client volume growth, on-time service and low claims frequency. This is Holland’s third time in the past four years to be selected for this prestigious award.

M33 hosts their annual M33 Carrier Appreciation event every November to thank carrier partners and their dedicated service to M33 customers. Special award recognition is given to those carriers who represent exceptional levels of on-time pickup and delivery performance, low claims ratios, accurate invoicing, and commitment to our technology in order to automate communications with M33. “We know that many carriers have the privilege of serving M33 and its clients, “states Shaun Martin, Area Director of Sales at Holland. “It’s an honor to be considered the premier provider in their regional stable for 2015.”

Utilizing an innovative co-management approach that seamlessly integrates with a shipper’s supply chain, M33 enables its clients to focus on their core competencies while M33 services are implemented to bring maximum benefit. With one of the only live support teams in the industry and a proprietary transportation technology platform, M33 provides an unmatched suite of logistics solutions. “A key component to M33’s success is the committed relationship and collaboration we have with our carrier network,” states Ken Waldron, Director of Procurement Compliance at M33 Integrated. “Because of those established relationships, we can successfully secure capacity and simplify complex freight activities for our customers.”

M33 Integrated was recently acquired on September 17, 2015 by Transplace, a leading provider of transportation management services and logistics technology.
