However, Global Trade likes to diversify by adhering to a decade-long tradition of acknowledging the excellence of as many 3PLs as possible, big and small. To that end, each company recognized on our list has been placed in a specific award category. This is not to suggest that is the only ability or service that 3PL nails for its customers. For instance, we have Logistics Plus under the 4PL/LLP (Lead Logistics Provider) category this year, but the Erie, Pennsylvania-based company would have fit just as worthy 16 SEP/OCT 2022 of our E-Commerce or Technology awards. For an idea of how things have changed since we launched the America’s Top 3PLs special feature in 2012, we used to have a NAFTA category. A decade on, companies that excel in cross-border are categorized under USMCA—to reflect the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement having replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement.
