CFR Awarded Transport Innovation Award

CFR Classic was recently awarded with a Transport Innovation Award at this year’s Automotive Logistics Awards – Europe. The awards, now in their second year, were presented during a ceremony at the Kesselhaus at Motorworld, as part of the 2019 Automotive Logistics Munich conference. The awards served to recognize proven innovation and excellence throughout the global automotive logistics and supply chain.

We received the Transport Innovation Award for impacting the marketplace, by successfully shipping cars in containers, with the use of racks. The use of this system allows for safe and reliable shipping of up to five cars in a single container. The traditional method of stacking cars in containers is to construct wooden ramps and load the cars onto those ramps, which is not only much more complicated and less safe, but also environmentally unfriendly. The containerized shipping of cars has improved industry standards for safety and efficiency.

Joey has spent his entire teen and adult life in cars. Joey's father owned a Jeep store, and Joey had his own used car lot that he ran himself from age 22 until I was 30. At 30 years old, Joey got "out of" the car business and joined CFR Rinkens. Joey started when there were only 9 people at CFR, but the company grew to over 150 employees during his time there. When Joey started, CFR Rinkens was shipping about 40 vehicles per week from Los Angeles. Joey established locations in Houston, Miami, and New York and within the first year, CFR went to shipping 150 cars per week. Joey started as a customer service rep and later moved up to sales manager, operations manager, and marketing manager. Joey then moved to Europe for two years and spent the entire time traveling through Europe meeting with clients. In 2022, Joey and his partners purchased CFR Classic from CFR Rinkens and he returned to California to watch over the operation more closely.
