News ReleaseOwens Corning Recognizes BNSF Logistics for Service ExcellenceSPRINGDALE, Ark., March 23, 2005:Today, BNSF Logistics announced that it has been named a recipient of the Owens Corning 2005 Transportation Systems Excellence Awards. Each year, Owens Corning (OTC: OWENQ) awards this designation to its top carrier service partners from among a highly coordinated, global network of nearly 400 transportation service providers. "At Owens Corning, we’re all about service, and our carrier service partners make the on-time deliveries that keep us number one with our customers," said John Gentle, Owens Corning Global Leader Transportation Affairs and Processes. "BNSF Logistics was recognized for the ability of its team and leaders to effectively anticipate and adjust its processes to meet the needs of our company while overcoming daily challenges to service providers in a dynamic transportation industry." "We’re proud to be selected as one of the recipients of the Owens Corning 2005 Transportation Systems Excellence Awards," said Charles Borchers, Director - TES, BNSF Logistics. "We’re in a highly competitive industry, so when we have available capacity we prefer to shift it to partners like Owens Corning that invest in carrier relationships. Their commitment to win-win relationships and safety allows both of our companies to do what we do best: deliver the products and solutions that our customers demand." Last January’s changes to the daily hours-of-service regulations continue to be a challenge for both shippers and carriers alike. In an industry dominated by new supply chain strategies, heavy competition and tight capacity, carrier recognition is important to the continued success of those on both sides of the supply chain.
