C.H. Robinson Wednesday announced the recipients of its 2025 Carrier of the Year Awards, recognizing 20 carriers across North America for their exceptional service, reliability, and partnership.
This year marks a first: the awards were presented during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, underscoring the company’s gratitude to the entire carrier and driver community.
The winners range from single-truck owner-operators to fleets with thousands of vehicles. In 2024, this group of honorees collectively hauled nearly 2 million loads with C.H. Robinson.
“These carriers exemplify the best in the industry,” said Michael Castagnetto, president of North American Surface Transportation at C.H. Robinson. “But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I also want to recognize the 360 other COYA nominees and the entirety of our 450,000+ carrier network. They help us and our customers succeed every day. We are proud to honor them for another year of exceptional achievements.”
Throughout the week, delegations from the winning carriers, including ownership, management and drivers, are attending various festivities, including a Minnesota Twins game with special “Carrier of the Year” customized jerseys, and a visit to the company’s headquarters in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
