CINCINNATI, OH, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fura, a visibility first freight brokerage, has been named Outbound Carrier of the Year for 2026 by Ace Hardware Corporation. The award is voted on by logistics and operations teams across Ace Hardware's nationwide network of distribution centers, making it one of the most meaningful carrier recognitions in the hardware and home improvement supply chain.

The recognition reflects Fura's performance across on-time delivery, carrier compliance, real-time visibility, and proactive communication, standards that Fura has embedded into every load through its platform.

Fura's approach to freight, built on striving to be the best in the world at visibility and reducing manual waste with its shipper partners, has made it one of the fastest growing brokerages in the country and a two-time Inc. 5000 honoree, placing on the list in 2025 and 2026.

"Winning this award from Ace Hardware means everything to us. This is voted on by the people on the ground, the distribution center teams who see the results every single day. It validates what we have been building, a brokerage that does not just move freight, but eliminates the friction around it. We are incredibly proud of Terry and the team," said Ryan Morrow, Chief Revenue Officer of Fura.

The award reflects not just operational performance, but the culture Fura has built around accountability, transparency, and a relentless focus on the shipper experience.

"Ace Hardware is one of the most respected names in American retail, and their distribution network runs at a level that demands the best. Being recognized by their team as the top outbound carrier is a reflection of the culture we have built at Fura, one where visibility, accountability, and performance are non-negotiable. We are honored, and we are just getting started," said Jeff Dangelo, Chief Executive Officer of Fura.
