IANA said Bergant was chosen by the IANA Awards Selection Committee for his relentless drive in developing and fostering a domestic intermodal service "as good as a truck" that transformed the intermodal freight transportation industry.
According to IANA Chairman Dave Manning, "In the last 20-plus years we have seen an amazing transformation take place in domestic intermodal. This positive change would not have been possible without industry entrepreneurs and leaders such as Paul."
