Concord, NC – July 27, 2022 – Cardinal ranks 44th on the Transport Topics 2022 Top 100 list of the largest for-hire carriers in North America. Cardinal also ranks 23rd among the Top 100 Truckload/Dedicated Carriers.

The rankings are based on overall revenue generated for the most recent 12-month period. According to Transport Topics, the top 100 companies showed extraordinary revenue growth despite supply chain disruptions, increasing freight demand, and a tight labor market, all fueled by the economic rebound following the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We understand the importance of adapting to the changing needs of our clients,” said Vin McLoughlin, Chairman of the Board at Cardinal Logistics. “We are proud of our growth amid the challenges of the last two years and credit our customer-service oriented employees and partners. We will continue to serve our customers with the personal service and customized solutions that our employees deliver every day.”

Supply chain issues continue this year, along with high inflation, soaring diesel prices, and economic uncertainty. But dealing with the disruptions of the last two years put the carriers on the Top 100 list in a prime position to be able to adjust to future challenges.

Most of the companies ranked on this year’s list reported year-over-year revenue increases in 2021, including record results for many large fleets. At the same time, companies across the industry increased driver compensation to improve recruiting and retention.

Concord, NC – October 25, 2021 – Women in Trucking (WIT) has selected Cardinal Logistics as one of its “Top Companies for Women to Work For in Transportation” in 2021. Done in combination with Redefining the Road magazine, this annual award program launched in 2018 supports an element of WIT’s mission: to promote the accomplishments of companies that are focused on the employment of women in the trucking industry.

To be considered, companies are nominated and assessed against criteria that include a corporate culture that fosters gender diversity, competitive compensation and benefits, flexible hours and work requirements, professional development opportunities, and career advancement opportunities. After an initial screening by WIT, nominations are validated by an industry-wide vote involving nearly 15,000 professionals in transportation – including executive management, operations and HR/talent management executives, and professional drivers. 

“We not only value diversity and inclusion, but we also know we are stronger because of it. While we are proud that the percentage of women that make up our driver force is greater than the national average, we are committed to bringing on more females and minorities into the Cardinal family”, said Holly Hardie, VP of Human Resources. “It is a great honor for Cardinal Logistics to be recognized as a leader in professional and career development opportunities for women in our industry.” Nicole Miller, Manager of Driver Recruiting added, “We are committed to fostering a flexible work environment to help balance work and home lives. Important family time is honored with our ‘home daily’ positions that apply to everyone but that greatly appeal to our women drivers. Our membership in WIT helps us stay at the forefront of hiring best practices and designing meaningful programs to support women in transportation roles at Cardinal.”

“As women rise through the ranks in the transportation industry, we are excited to feature the companies that make the extra effort to attract and retain a more gender-diverse workforce,” said Ellen Voie, President and CEO of WIT. “We applaud their efforts, and this distinction is our way of giving them the recognition they deserve.” 

Several Cardinal representatives will attend the upcoming Accelerate Conference on November 7 through 9 to accept this honor.
