HUDSON, IL—Nussbaum Transportation has been named a 2026 Preferred Carrier – Gold Status by project44, the Decision Intelligence Platform for the modern supply chain. This honor is extended to less than 2% of the 259,000 carriers in the project44 network and reflects Nussbaum’s consistent performance in shipment tracking reliability, data quality, and proactive customer communication. First launched in 2020, the project44 Preferred Carrier program identifies carriers that deliver exceptional supply chain visibility to their customers.

As a project44 Preferred Carrier, Nussbaum gives shippers direct, validated access to reliable real-time tracking, self-service shipment status, and high-quality data for planning. According to Project 44, Preferred Carriers have the following characteristics:

• They track on every load. High tracking rates across a real volume of freight, not just the easy lanes.
• They move a lot of freight. At least 200 tracked loads this year.
• They run a smarter operation. Preferred Carriers know that keeping shippers informed is good for their business. It’s not just a tech requirement; it’s how they operate.
