Bay & Bay Named Top Food Chain Provider by Food Shippers of America
Eagan, Minnesota – October 10, 2023 – Bay & Bay Transportation — a leading trucking and logistics company that offers transportation solutions nationwide — has been recognized as a 2023 Top Food Chain Provider by Food Chain Digest, the official magazine of Food Shippers of America (FSA). Bay & Bay is one of only 25 companies named to the list for delivering outstanding service to food shippers.
“Food shippers rely upon their logistics partners and carriers to help manage a productive, efficient, and seamless food chain,” said Brian Everett, Group Publisher and Editorial Director of Food Chain Digest. “A common theme for the companies on the 2023 list is that they have been providing significant value to food shippers at a time when demand in all modes has been surging, while the people and assets needed to move and store goods and materials remain scarce. This program highlights providers that are helping shippers successfully navigate through their food chain challenges and accomplish their business goals.”
To be eligible for the Top Food Chain Provider award, companies must successfully complete a rigorous nomination process that includes demonstrating how their service or product solves a business problem for food shippers. Each nominated business must generate at least $5 million in annual revenue and operate either as a third-party logistics provider (3PL), freight broker, motor carrier, or rail, intermodal or maritime company.
Food Chain Digest staff evaluated all nominations to assess the value they provide to food shippers and their achievements over the last 12-18 months. Food Chain Digest also invited professionals from across the industry to vote on nominees, receiving more than 6,000 responses. The final list was then audited and reviewed by FSA leaders to confirm the quality of providers named on the list.
“This award is an incredible honor for our team,” said Bay & Bay CEO Sam Anderson. “Food shippers and freight transportation providers are woven into the fabric of our economy. Together, we play a vital role in delivering essential goods to every family and individual in the country. We will continue supporting shippers the way we have since 1941 — the Bay Way.”
Bay & Bay has decades of experience in refrigerated transportation and the knowledge and resources to keep freight moving safely and on time. With more than 600 tractors, 1,200 trailers, drop trailer and power-only units, and a full-service logistics business, Bay & Bay can tailor a solution to fit any shipper’s needs.
“We’re proud of our team for their dedication to customers and for delivering perishable goods on time, on budget and ready for consumers to enjoy,” said Jade Nelson, VP of Sales and Refrigerated Trucking for Bay & Bay. “This award is a testament to our people’s hard work and the skill they bring to Bay & Bay every day.”
