Choptank Transport Wins Broker of the Year Award

PRESTON, MD – Choptank Transport, a full service logistics provider in Preston, Maryland, has been awarded “Best Broker of the Year – 2011” by the National Association of Small Trucking Companies (NASTC) at its annual conference today in Nashville, Tennessee.

Receiving this prestigious award from NASTC is an honor,” says President/CEO Geoff Turner of Choptank Transport, “and is a direct reflection of our talented staff working diligently with our excellent carriers to satisfy the needs of our customers.

NASTC represents over 2,700 trucking companies in the U.S. and Canada that employ over 50,000 drivers collectively. Every year, NASTC publishes a Best Broker Directory to help their members stay loaded. Once a year, they select a “Best Broker of the Year” which recognizes the top brokerage that exemplifies the ideal business partnership with their carriers.

This year’s conference was entitled “It’s all About the Driver” and Choptank Transport embodies this sentiment. Choptank has established several programs over the years specifically with carriers in mind, such as: fast payments with direct deposits, quick pay options, COMDATA advances for fuel, and 24/7 access to our Carriernet load board where carriers can bid on, accept or decline freight online. We have always believed in making it as easy for the carriers as possible in order to build solid relationships with top-notch drivers.

David Owen, President of NASTC commented, “Choptank's background has led to a unique understanding and appreciation of how small trucking operates. Their success and reputation is due to the positive relationships that have developed from that experience.”

Choptank Transport has been a NASTC member since 2005 and is located in Preston, Maryland. The company specializes in truckload, refrigerated and frozen, van, flatbed and less than truckload freight. Choptank Transport also offers intermodal capabilities and warehousing.
