SPRINGDALE, AR, August 8, 2006:

BNSF Logistics, LLC has been named one of the top logistics providers for the third consecutive year in Inbound Logistics' annual "Top 10 3PL Excellence Award" survey.

The Top 10 3PL Awards are based on ballots received December 2005 to June 2006. Readers nominated more than 400 companies this year and cast nearly 4,000 votes, proof of the continuing competition among outsourced logistics providers and the importance of recognizing those providers whose services are differentiated.  Leading logistics solutions providers act as business process change agents, empowering their customers’ ability to adapt their enterprise and leverage logistics excellence. Based on this criteria, Inbound Logistics’ editors have recognized BNSF Logistics as one of this year's Top 10 3PLs.

Felecia Stratton, editor, Inbound Logistics said, "Whatever the company size, from Fortune 500 to small and medium-sized businesses, world-class logistics performance is crucial. Given the scope and scale of the challenge, it is impressive to see BNSF Logistics providing the kinds of solutions that companies large and small, rely on to solve the tactical logistics issues of serving customers better, faster, and more efficiently.” Stratton adds, “It is equally impressive that BNSF Logistics is responsive and continues to anticipate evolving needs by offering the strategic solutions needed to drive business process improvement and change for their customers.
