DB Schenker Selected for FourKites’ Latest Premier Carrier List
FourKites’ H2 2023 Premier Carrier List showcases the carriers and brokers demonstrating best-in-class use of supply chain visibility to provide critical business value to their customers
Leading real-time supply chain visibility provider FourKites has named DB Schenker to its latest Premier Carrier List (PCL). FourKites’ H2 2023 PCL showcases the growing community of brokers, carriers, and 3PLs worldwide who are achieving the highest standards of visibility- related operational excellence across all modes of transport, as demonstrated by their ability to provide high-quality and consistent data on the vast majority of their shipments.
FourKites’ latest data reaffirms the importance of providing market-leading shipment visibility to customers, highlighting outsized growth amongst members of the Premier Carrier List. For instance, FourKites’ data indicates that new carriers who qualified for the PCL in H2 2023 saw an 11% month-over-month increase in shipment volume in the second half of 2023 compared to the overall network average. Further, the data shows that carriers on the PCL have approximately 4.5 times more shipper customers than non-PCL carriers.
“Qualifying for FourKites’ Premier Carrier List is an increasingly important distinction for carriers, brokers, and 3PLs who need to stand out in a competitive and volatile market,” said Jason Eversole, VP of Professional Services Solutions at FourKites. “Congratulations to DB SCHENKER on this great achievement and for offering their customers increased levels of service through their use of supply chain visibility.”
