Many of today's third-party logistics (3PL) providers are challenged with rising fuel costs, the race against electrification, ensuring driver safety, complying with ever-changing regulations and more.
But, thanks to the implementation of emerging technologies, cutting-edge transportation management solutions and end-to-end visibility solutions, 3PLs in the cold food chain space continue to keep on truckin'.
In the same token, cold storage providers are challenged with slowdown in inventory levels and meeting "audit-ready" mandates, but at the same time, they're implementing robotics and wearables and multi-temperature solutions to better meet ever-changing demands of the temperature-sensitive market.
That's why it's important to honor and celebrate the top 3PLs and cold storage providers, both nationally and internationally.
Nominations are open for Food Logistics' 2025 Top 3PL & Cold Storage Providers award, which recognizes leading 3PLs and cold storage providers in the cold food and beverage industry.
