Trailer Bridge earned the Gold Award for 2005 for superior new vehicle service between the US Mainland and Puerto Rico. When Trailer Bridge earned the Gold Award in 2001 they were the first ocean carrier ever to have been selected for this prestigious award and now have become the only ocean carrier to be a two-time recipient. The award places the company among the highest rated logistics and transportation service suppliers to DaimlerChrysler Corporation. Trailer Bridge has had a growing relationship with the Chrysler Group since 1993 and Mercedes-Benz since 1994. DaimlerChrysler vehicles that are sold in Puerto Rico include Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Mercedes-Benz, including M-class, and Freightliner Heavy Trucks. Trailer Bridge is the exclusive ocean carrier for the Chrysler Group and Mercedes-Benz vehicles moving from the U.S. to Puerto Rico. Ralph Heim, Trailer Bridge's President and Chief Operating Officer, said, "It was an honor to earn DaimlerChrysler Corporation's Gold Award once, but to now have received it twice is truly a testament to Trailer Bridge's unique system. The movement of new cars and trucks requires the utmost attention to detail and we are very proud to be recognized for the quality of people and procedures we have in place." Trailer Bridge provides integrated trucking and marine freight service to and from all points in the lower 48 states and Puerto Rico, bringing efficiency, service, security and environmental and safety benefits to domestic cargo in that traffic lane.
