Melton’s Quest for Quality: Why Your Vote Matters

At Melton Truck Lines, we pride ourselves on delivering more than just freight. Every shipment we handle reflects our dedication to safety, on-time performance, and exceptional customer service. That’s why we’re excited to share more about our Quest for Quality campaign for 2025, and more importantly, how your vote can make a difference!

What is the Quest for Quality Award?

For over 40 years, Logistics Management Magazine’s Quest for Quality award has helped set the bar in the transportation and logistics industry for high quality services. It’s one of the most important measures of customer satisfaction and performance excellence across many markets.

Why? Because it’s voted on by the people who matter most: you, the customer!

Quest for Quality winners are selected based on direct customer feedback in five key areas:

  • On-Time Performance
  • Value
  • Customer Service
  • Equipment & Operations
  • Information Technology

This award isn’t about having the most marketing hype or the best brochures; it’s earned by consistently delivering outstanding results to shippers like you.

The research for these categories is conducted over a 6-month period, and is by invitation only, allowing those who’ve worked with these service providers to voice their opinions to ensure the award is given to the companies who deserve it most.

Why Should the Quest for Quality Award Matter to You?

As a customer in the fast-paced lanes of the transportation industry, you need reliable partners around every corner.

The Quest for Quality award acts as an industry benchmark, helping you identify carriers who deliver, not just on time, but on their promises as well.

When you see a carrier recognized through Quest for Quality, it tells you:

  • They prioritize your freight
  • They are proven performers in safety, timeliness, and service
  • They have the infrastructure and technology to keep your shipments moving efficiently

An award-winning carrier reduces your risks, simplifies your job, and gives you the confidence to focus on the core of your business instead of worrying about your shipping provider.
