ATLANTA, April 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UPS® (NYSE:UPS) is ranked No.1 on Transport Topics'
Top 50 Logistics Companies in a listing due out today. This marks
the sixth time in the last 10 years UPS has landed the top
spot.
The rankings will be available on www.ttnews.com, coinciding with
Transport Topics' LiveOnWeb program airing at 12 p.m. EST. Alan
Amling, UPS vice president of global logistics and distribution,
will be featured on the program discussing the ranking and industry
trends.
"Customers lean on their providers more than ever before
and it's critical we provide the solutions and expertise they
need," Amling said. "The size of UPS's network - and all that it
entails - continues to be a significant differentiator. We enable
customers of all sizes to focus less on logistics and more on
growing their businesses. We provide the people, technology and
infrastructure needed to identify and solve supply chain
challenges."
Companies on Transport Topics' Top 50 list provide
logistics services, including freight, brokerage, freight
forwarding, warehousing and dedicated contract carriage in North
America. Rankings are based on annual net revenue with figures
provided by Armstrong and Associates.
UPS helps customers manage their total supply chain
through a wide range of services that include warehousing and
fulfillment; inventory, transportation and returns management;
custom kitting and packaging; and store-ready displays. UPS's
forwarding lineup combines air, rail, ocean and truck networks to
help customers better balance their transportation expenses. UPS
Freight is a leading provider of less-than-truckload and truckload
services coast-to-coast with more than 5,500 vehicles and nearly
