Travero Logistics earns recognition as a John Deere “Partner-level Supplier”

Fairfax, Iowa (July 27, 2026) – Travero Logistics has earned recognition as a Partner-level supplier for 2025 in the John Deere Achieving Excellence Program. The Partner-level status is Deere & Company’s highest supplier rating.  The Fairfax based company was selected for the honor in recognition of its dedication to providing products and services of outstanding quality as well as its commitment to continuous improvement. Company employees accepted the recognition during formal ceremonies held on April 16th, 2026, in Moline, Illinois. 

Travero Logistics, a core component of Travero Inc., supplies freight brokerage and warehouse services to multiple John Deere manufacturing facilities. 

Suppliers who participate in the Achieving Excellence program are evaluated annually in several key performance categories, including quality, delivery, process alignments, value creation and relationship. John Deere Supply Management created the program in 1991 to provide a supplier evaluation and feedback process that promotes continuous improvement. 

“Earning Partner-level recognition from John Deere for the third year in a row is an honor and reflects how we operate—maintaining a high say-do ratio and disciplined carrier vetting to ensure we consistently deliver and protect the products our customers entrust to us,” said Dee Brown, Director of Operations at Travero. “We stay ahead of issues rather than reacting to them, and that focus on service drives our results.” 

Travero's freight brokerage service is built on a simple standard: do what we say, communicate before customers have to ask, and treat the relationship as a two-way partnership — not a vendor arrangement.
