Unishippers Global Logistics Named to the 3PLs to Watch List for Fifth Consecutive Year

SALT LAKE CITY – More than 13,000 companies and shippers spread across 55 countries participated in Inbound Logistics magazine’s annual Readers' Choice Top 10 3PL Excellence Award survey. The poll once again named Unishippers Global Logistics, LLC a “3PL to Watch” in 2016.

Companies large and small that spend millions on transportation each year showed their appreciation for their logistics partners through voting.

“Year after year it’s an honor to know our platinum customer service doesn’t go unnoticed.
