In addition to naming its National Carrier of the Year, Sunoco also recognizes two other carriers for exceptional work performed at other Sunoco facilities. The additional winners are:
•Sunoco Carrier of the Year: Linden Bulk. Sunoco said Linden Bulk's Philadelphia PA terminal serves Sunoco's Frankford facility, safely handling phenol, alpha methylstyrene, acetone, toluene, and xylene shipments with a high level of customer satisfaction.

Customer satisfaction evaluation criteria include customer complaint frequency, claims experience and internal customer surveys.
