What are the FreightTech Awards?

In the pulsating heart of the logistics industry, the FreightTech Awards stand as a beacon of recognition for the titans of innovation. As a celebration of the Top Innovators, these awards, bestowed upon the best of the best—as voted by the industry itself—are nothing short of a high honor. The world revolves on the wheels of freight, the invisible force propelling goods from one corner of the globe to another. It’s the lifeblood of commerce, the silent engine powering economies.

In an era where the demand for efficient, sustainable, and tech-infused freight solutions has never been higher, the FreightTech Awards emerge as the definitive accolade for those who navigate intricate logistics with unparalleled innovation. This recognition isn’t just deserved; it’s a testament to the vital role these innovators play in ensuring the seamless flow of goods upon which we all rely. At Decatur Trailer Sales & Service Inc., we recognize the importance of this honor and will be happy to teach you about how significant it is among industry professionals.

What are the FreightTech Awards?

The FreightTech Awards: Top Innovators as Voted by the Industry honor innovation and disruption within the industry. Nominations are narrowed down to the FreightTech 100, which is then voted on by a hand-picked peer group of CEOs, industry leaders and investors actively investing in freight to select the FreightTech 25.

Nominations—Who Can Be Nominated?

Do you know a company that is actively innovating in freight or disrupting the industry with its new approach? Nominate them to become a 2024 FreightTech company, and they could be honored as one of the FreightTech 100 or FreightTech 25. Past honorees include Amazon, Convoy, FedEx, JB Hunt, project44, Tesla, and many more. The nomination period is open from July 10 to September 1, 2023. Companies can nominate themselves or other industry leaders who are making waves in the freight marketplace.

Voting

A panel chosen by FreightWaves will take the hundreds of nominations and narrow down these companies to the FreightTech 100. An external peer group of CEOs, industry leaders, academics and freight-industry investors will then take the FreightTech 100 list and rank those companies that they think are the top 25 most innovative companies in freight. Voters can vote for their own company if it is on the FreightTech 100 list, but each company can only be ranked once per voter. Voting is conducted and overseen by the accounting firm Henderson, Hutcherson & McCullough (HHM).
