LOUISVILLE, KY… Mercer Transportation, a leading transporter of general commodities, offering flatbed, step deck and dry van services, specializing in iron, steel, pipe, machinery, building materials, glass and military freight, has been selected as an Inbound Logistics Magazine Top 100 Trucker for 2019. According to Inbound Logistics Publication Editor, Felecia Stratton, Mercer Transportation was selected out of more than 300 service providers. Selection process was competitive. As Stratton states, 2019 Top Truckers were named through a qualitative assessment of service providers.

business. The Top 100 List is described as one of the more significant resources available to those interested in high quality supply and demand services.
