Pilot’s largest international customer and perishables supplier recently presented our Seattle station with a distinguished service award, recognizing the collaborative 25-year relationship. In particular, Pilot Seattle was acknowledged for its ability to adjust volumes and react to the time-sensitive nature of shipping perishables in order to deliver fresh produce to points around the globe in a timely manner. This supplier wrapped the cherry shipping season with a 50 percent increase over record 2016 volumes and pointed to Pilot’s ability to rise to the challenge as key in another record year. Patrick Allen, franchise owner, Bill Raine, perishables manager, and the entire Seattle staff were described as dedicated professionals who perform above expectations and make seemingly impossible tasks look easy, day after day!
