AmeriQuest Transportation Services Makes List of South Jersey's Fastest-Growing Companies for 9th Time

    CHERRY HILL, NJ, June 19, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- AmeriQuest Transportation Services in Cherry Hill was recognized as the 14th fastest-growing company in South Jersey by the Philadelphia Business Journal at its South Jersey Summit awards ceremony in Cinnaminson, NJ. This is the 9th time that AmeriQuest has been named to the South Jersey list since the awards' inception 17 years ago.

The South Jersey Summit recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Ocean, Cumberland, and Cape May counties. Nominees for the award were ranked by researchers of Rowan University's William G. Rohrer College of Business according to percentage increase in sales from 2009 to 2011. AmeriQuest Transportation Services - which provides consultative services to companies that own, operate, or outsource trucking and logistics operations in the U.S. and Canada - posted 2011 revenues in excess of $500 million. That is up from approximately $400 million in 2010.

"We're honored to be counted among South Jersey's fastest-growing businesses for the ninth year," said Doug Clark, President and CEO of AmeriQuest. "Our sustained growth is evidence that AmeriQuest is providing transportation companies with the services they need to save money, increase productivity, and maximize the value of their assets. Today we serve more than 1,500 private fleets and truckload carriers that run 700,000 vehicles."

AmeriQuest was inducted into Philadelphia Business Journal's "South Jersey 25 Hall of Fame" two years ago based on the many years it resided on the annual list of fastest-growing companies.
