AFS Logistics certified as a Most Loved Workplace

Third-party logistics (3PL) provider recognized for its workplace culture twice within a matter of weeks

AFS Logistics certified as a Most Loved Workplace

SHREVEPORT La. (Nov. 15, 2023) – AFS Logistics, a leading 3PL provider with an international presence, announces certification as a Most Loved Workplace®. This certification is backed by the extensive research and analysis conducted by the Best Practice Institute (BPI) and provides the most comprehensive look at workplace sentiment for organizations today. The certification comes less than two weeks after another organization recognized AFS for its workplace culture, with the Women in Trucking Association naming the firm a Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation for the third consecutive year.

AFS Logistics has been certified as a Most Loved Workplace® because of its commitment to its highly collaborative work environment that allows teammates to build strong relationships, communicate effectively across departments and tackle challenges together. AFS teammates also take pride in their respectful culture, which they credit company leadership for modeling. As highlighted in the company’s Most Loved Workplace profile, AFS understands that promoting a workplace culture of respect and support is just as important as offering competitive compensation packages.

“Our inclusion on the Most Loved Workplaces list further validates the core values on which AFS was established – ethics, engagement and excellence,” says Tom Nightingale, CEO of AFS. “Culture is one of the most critical components of a successful company, and directly correlates to our ability to ensure the success of our customers. I’m proud of the work that our HR team puts in each day to cultivate an environment where all of our teammates feel valued.”


Most Loved Workplaces® certify companies where employees are the happiest and most satisfied at work. AFS Logistics became certified as a Most Loved Workplace based on its scores on the Love of Workplace Index™, which surveyed employees on various elements around employee satisfaction and sentiment including the level of respect, collaboration, support, and sense of belonging they feel inside the company. The Most Loved Workplaces certification is the most valid method to determine employee experience and recognize a great workplace, according to the BPI.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
