Ryder, which operates one of the largest flatbed fleets in North America, provides a guaranteed-capacity service offering, including customized trucks and specially trained drivers for the steel industry. The company’s dedicated transportation solution maintains a 99% on-time delivery rate on average, and with an equal focus on safety, Ryder has one of the lowest collision rates in the industry.

The judges also considered Ryder’s investment in new and innovative technology solutions such as its one-of-a-kind collaborative logistics platform RyderShare^TM, which eliminates long-standing industry silos and integrates multiple transportation and warehouse management systems into a single synergistic platform. The customer-centric solution enables all parties involved in moving goods through a supply chain to easily see potential problems and inefficiencies, collaborate in real-time, and take pro-active action to prevent costly delays and find efficiency gains.

“The steel and metals industry is looking for partners that can reliably make time-critical deliveries despite the complex routing and capacity constraints,” says Steve Martin, senior vice president of dedicated transportation solutions for Ryder. “That’s why we invest in technologies that enable real-time visibility and collaboration along with business intelligence tools and analytics to inform future decision making. Add to that Ryder’s logistics professionals with the expertise to make meaningful change, and it’s been a game-changer for customers.”
