Holland, MI -- TLC (Total Logistic Control) has been awarded the coveted Top 10 3PL Excellence Award by industry publication Inbound Logistics (IL) magazine. TLC was first recognized with this award in 1998. The Top Ten Award is the latest in a long list of awards from multiple industry publications highlighting TLC's financial performance and customer service abilities.

"This award shows that we continue to know who the customer really is and we function as if we were the customer in all of our activities. It is awesome that we have been recognized for the last 11 years as a Top 10 3PL especially since we are a smaller company compared to the others who made the Top 10. Results are how we are measured and this award demonstrates that we are just as effective as the largest of 3PLs.," said TLC President Pete Westermann.
