Western Dairy Transport honored
CABOOL, Mo. — Western Dairy Transport, the nation’s largest milk and dairy hauler, was recognized by the Truckload Carriers Association and CarriersEdge 2021 as a best fleet to drive for award winner.
The company, with operations that include a Portales location, is the first dairy logistics carrier to be recognized by the program.
“Being named a 2021 Fleet to Watch speaks as much to the dedication to quality within the dairy industry we haul for, as it does to our team,” said David Shelton, CEO of Western Dairy Transport. “It is an honor to be named among a circle of outstanding motor carriers on a national scale.”
The award process involved nomination from a company driver, extensive interviews and 120 surveys submitted by WDT employees covering categories like compensation, professional development and health benefits.
Each day WDT hauls over 500 truckloads of milk. Specific actions recognized included WDT’s training academies in Missouri and Texas and Portales’ facility installing equipment that helps recapture water.
