have fun.
"Our terrific Echo team members simplify transportation
management for our clients and carriers, and we support them by
streamlining collaboration across the organization and providing
the training and top-notch technology that team members need to do
their best work," said Paula Frey,
Chief Human Resources Officer at Echo. "On their behalf, we're
thrilled to be recognized among the Top Workplaces for 2021."
