"In working with more than 80 carriers, we hear a number of tremendous stories from customers about how so many of the carriers they work with do a fantastic job," said Gordie Macfarlane, president of G-Force Shipping. "With the Ship Shape awards, manufacturers, distributors, dealers and the general public have the opportunity to do a little more than say thank you for the great work these carriers do."

The Ship Shape awards honor carriers in three separate categories:

• 
  Best Carrier– Self explanatory, the Best Carrier goes to the freight company who performed the best over the past calendar year, 2010. Areas of consideration: price, transit time, condition of delivery, customer service.
  
• 
  Most Dependable – This goes to the carrier who consistently meets transit times with the least amount of claims.
  
• 
  Shipper's Shipper – This honor goes to the carrier who, on one particular occasion, went above and beyond the call to ensure the safe and on time arrival of a shipment. This is a chance for you to tell us your best stories!
  

Manufacturers, dealers, distributors and the general public can nominate a carrier by e-mailing your nomination to info@gforceship.com. Employees of nominated carriers are not eligible to vote.

As part of the nomination form, voters can contribute a brief, 250-word testimonial on behalf of the carrier. The most compelling testimonial, as determined by G-Force customer representatives, will win a $100 credit towards their next shipment using G-Force.

The winners will be selected on July 1, 2011 and announced on Gforceship.com. G-Force Shipping provides manufacturers, dealers and distributors with an easy-to-use, Web-based shipping utility, GForceship.com, which delivers instant quotes and multiple carrier choices in seconds. There's no long-term commitment. Access to a free online account or a toll-free number is all G-Force customers need.
