Descartes announces top Descartes MacroPoint carriers worldwide

Descartes Systems Group, the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced the top carriers worldwide using its Descartes MacroPoint™ real-time freight visibility solution to help streamline operations, improve margins, reduce costs and optimize time management by providing shipper customers with high-quality and accurate load data.
