Baylor Trucking was recognized by Walmart as the 2021 Diversity Carrier of the Year, the family-owned truckload carrier announced last month.
The Walmart Carrier of the Year Awards are given to carriers that work with the retail giant. The diversity category of the awards recognizes a top- performing third-party logistics carrier that is a woman-, minority- or veteran-owned company. Baylor Trucking is woman-owned.
“It is always refreshing to know where you stand, and we are very grateful that Walmart puts these principles in practice,” Baylor Trucking President Cari Baylor said in a statement. “They give carriers like Baylor Trucking the ability to flourish.”

Walmart Carrier of the Year recipients are evaluated on key performance criteria that include lane compliance, daily on-time delivery performance, claims prevention, effective communication and customer service.
Baylor Trucking expanded its relationship with the retail giant in 2020 by 58.5% in terms of load count across its dry, refrigerated and consolidated freight networks. The company also held to contracted rates and lane commitments despite an unprecedented surge in demand for the company’s exception-free delivery services during the coronavirus pandemic.
“We were able to grow our relationship with Walmart when America needed us most,” Baylor said. “Integrity is a core value in our business. We always want to do the right thing. For us this means honoring our lane and rate commitments with customers and making sure that our professional drivers always know we are there to support them.”
Baylor Trucking has been recognized as a Carrier of the Year by Walmart four times, with 2021 being the second consecutive time the company has been awarded as a Diversity Carrier of the Year.
