The Titanium Technologies supply chain, procurement, and logistics teams, with support from CLX Logistics, developed criteria to evaluate top North American carriers by load counts. Carriers were assessed based on the 2023 rate of on-time pickup and delivery, customer service, safety, ease of doing business, EcoVadis score, among other metrics. The Titanium Technologies team assesses its carriers on an annual basis.
