Employee Satisfaction and Workplace Culture Drives Recognition
CLEVELAND – ContainerPort Group, the nation’s fastest growing drayage fleet and a leader in multi-modal transportation services, has been named to the 2019 Best Employers in Ohio list based largely on positive feedback from employees and an evaluation of key workplace policies and practices.
This announcement comes only one year after successfully merging ContainerPort Group, Inc. (CPG) and ASF Transportation Group, LLC (ASF) in January of 2018 to form an intermodal drayage powerhouse in key markets east of the Rockies with dedicated divisions for intermodal, bulk, truckload and logistics.
“We spent all of 2018 on a journey to successfully integrate two companies into one – aligning to a single corporate vision and focusing on creating an environment where our shared core values guide who we are, who we bring into our company, and how we deliver our services to valued customers,” said Michael Smith, president of ContainerPort Group. “Being included on this list is a testimony to all of the hard work that our team and fleet of owner/operators put in each and every day to ensure ContainerPort Group prioritizes respecting one another and creating positive experiences in the transportation industry.”
The 2019 list of Best Employers in Ohio is an annual list created by the Ohio SHRM State Council, Crain’s Cleveland Business, and Best Companies Group. The statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Ohio, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2019 Best Employers in Ohio list is made up of 41 companies, with rankings scheduled for a May release date.
