"Although we operate independently, we share common values, such as understanding our customers' business needs and working collaboratively to develop solutions that meet and exceed expectations," Lovetro said.
"The Gold Award represents the best-in-class of our valued carrier partners who participated in Lowe's 2002 LTL program," said Rob Long, LTL services manager for Lowe's. "FedEx Freight's achievement of Gold level service represents a significant accomplishment that Lowe's values and appreciates.
