Freightquote.com, a nationally-recognized online freight transportation management firm, has been selected by Ingram’s Magazine as one of Kansas City’s “2008 Best Companies to Work for.” One of the key contributor’s to this recognition is Freightquote.com’s strong work-life balance culture.
“Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is something we encourage all of our employees to do,” says Tim Barton, Chief Executive Officer. “It is our cultural view that you work from 8:00 to 5:00 and the rest of the time is your time.”
Freightquote has also been recognized for several other awards this year including a #3 ranking on the Kansas City Business Journal’s list of “Fastest-Growing Area Businesses” and a #17 ranking on Ingram Magazine’s “Corporate Report 100.” Both awards were for remarkable gross revenue growth over a multi-year period.
“We see a strong correlation between our consistent growth year over year and our continual focus on hiring the best people and providing them a great workplace environment,” Mr. Barton added. “These growth awards are a tribute to the commitment and dedication of all Freightquote employees.”
Freightquote.com has enjoyed tremendous growth and just recently celebrated ten years of business. During this time, the company has seen the employee base grow to more than 900, with some 650 in Lenexa and 200-plus others in offices in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Dublin, Ireland. Additionally, the organization has gone from managing just a handful of freight shipments per day ten years ago to now handling several thousand per day across North America and Europe.
