It was an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss with Trinity executives that we don’t normally interact with.”
Amanda Lloyd, Director of Sales Operations at Trinity Logistics, expressed the company’s commitment to fostering these connections. “Our customer relationships are at the heart of everything we do. These roundtable events are about more than talking logistics, but building long-lasting, successful business partnerships.
