Bettaway Beverage Distributors Recognized by C. H. Robinson with 2025 Carrier of the Year Award for Third Time in Five Years

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ– SEPT. 23, 2025 – Bettaway Beverage Distributors, a leading provider of time-definite local and regional trucking services supporting the beverage industry, has been recognized by C.H. Robinson, one of the nation’s largest transportation and logistics management firms, as a 2025 Carrier of the Year.

C. H. Robinson, which has some $23 billion in freight under management and directs over 37 million shipments annually, delivers cost-effective transportation solutions for more than 100,000 shipping customers.

Bettaway was one of 20 trucking firms honored this year, out of the more than 450,000 contract carriers participating in C.H. Robinson’s network, noted John Vaccaro, president of Bettaway. “I want to thank the C.H. Robinson team for this prestigious recognition, which is the third time in the past five years that Bettaway has earned Carrier of the Year honors,” he said.

“It’s not our goal to be something to everyone but to develop something special and enduring with partners who appreciate us and the value our family of entities provides,” Vaccaro noted. “We very much appreciate the opportunity to work with C. H. Robinson to deliver a superior service experience for their customers. Our joint success is a testament to what two companies can achieve when the focus is on the customer and a best of both approach to service.”

Added Vaccaro: “Saying job well done costs nothing but is worth its weight in gold for a dedicated partner and pays dividends in a relationship.”

“We congratulate Bettaway along with all our 2025 honorees who exemplify the best in the industry,” said Michael Castagnetto, President of North American Surface Transportation at C.H. Robinson. “But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I also want to recognize the 360 other COYA nominees and the entirety of our 450,000+ carrier network. They help us and our customers succeed every day. We are proud to honor them for another year of exceptional achievements.”

The program evaluates truck lines by service type and size. In its eighth year, the annual program recognizes carriers that demonstrate exceptional quality and reliability of service, operational excellence, and complementing technology that enhances overall efficiencies and performance, the company said.

In recognition of the key role professional truck drivers play in the nation’s economy, this year C. H. Robinson presented its awards during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, “underscoring the company’s deep gratitude to the entire carrier and driver community,” the company said.

“We must acknowledge the truck drivers and support staff in our industry without whose dedication we would not be here today,” concluded Bettaway’s Vaccaro.
