Triple Crown Named 2008 Top Carrier:
Seventh Time in Past Eight Years

Triple Crown Services Company was named the transportation industry’s best
“Rail/Intermodal Service Provider” by Logistics Management magazine in its 25th annual
“Quest for Quality” survey. The 2008 honor marked the seventh time in the past eight
years that Triple Crown was rated the best in the rail/intermodal category.

The survey instructed qualified buyers of logistics services to rate carriers in five key
criteria: On-time Performance, Value, Customer Service, Information Technology, and
Equipment & Operations. The evaluation itself is a weighted measurement and takes
into account the importance attached to each attribute.

The magazine’s editorial staff had high praise for Triple Crown performance and referred
to the company’s weighted score as “inspiring…one of the best overall scores in our
entire 2008 survey.” The article continued, “Triple Crown topped all winners in this
category in On-time Performance, Value, and Customer Service, and posted a
remarkable [score] in Equipment & Operations.”

Logistics Management’s research group received over 6,000 responses to this year’s
survey. The results were announced in the August issue of the magazine, and awards
will be presented at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals annual
conference in Denver in October.
