Landair, a Covenant Logistics Group Company, is proud to announce that it has been recognized by John Deere with two major honors at the 2024 John Deere Achieving Excellence Conference, held last week.

Covenant-Landair received the Partner-Level Supplier Award—the highest supplier rating awarded by John Deere—as well as the esteemed 2024 Sustainability Award, both of which highlight exceptional performance and dedication to delivering best-in-class logistics solutions.

“Being recognized by John Deere—one of the most respected brands in the world—is an incredible honor,” said Rob Mason, Vice President, Strategic Sales. “These awards reflect the deep commitment our Covenant-Landair team brings to innovation, service, and sustainability every day.”

The Partner-Level Status is part of John Deere’s Achieving Excellence program, which evaluates suppliers annually across key categories including quality, delivery, technical support, cost management, and more. This recognition affirms Covenant-Landair’s position as a top-tier logistics partner supporting John Deere’s global supply chain.

The Sustainability Truckload Carrier of the Year award is given to the truckload provider that demonstrates outstanding commitment to reducing environmental impact while maintaining high service levels. Covenant-Landair was recognized for implementing energy-efficient transportation strategies, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and driving innovation in green logistics.

“At Covenant-Landair, we believe operational excellence and environmental responsibility go hand in hand,” said Jeff Collins, Senior Director, Operations. “We’re proud to support John Deere’s mission to build a more sustainable future—and we’re just getting started.”
