for just-in-time network
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ryder
System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in commercial
fleet management and supply
chain solutions, today announced that Newgistics,
a leading provider of end-to-end e-commerce solutions for top retailers
and brands, is renewing and expanding its Ryder Dedicated contract. As
part of the renewal, Ryder will add eight new transportation lanes in
support of Newgistics’ growing business that will cover new geographies
throughout the country, including a new Southeast lane from Atlanta to
Orlando. As Newgistics’ supply chain partner, Ryder offers
time-sensitive transportation service throughout their network and will
continue to provide the business with vehicles, maintenance, drivers,
and additional value-added services.
“The Ryder Dedicated service plays an important role in connecting the
hubs of our parcel network, which we refer to as interfacility moves,”
said Benoit Robinot-Bertrand, Senior Vice President of Operations,
Newgistics. “These interfacility lanes are truly the backbone of our
delivery and return network, so Ryder’s proven stable workforce and
on-time performance help power a timely and efficient return and
delivery solution on behalf of hundreds of online retailers to and from
millions of consumers. Partnering with companies that share our high
standards for service expectation is crucial to our success, and Ryder’s
consistency, focus on service, and ability to react to exceptions are a
perfect match for our service and values.”
Ryder has provided its dedicated service to Newgistics since 2011,
primarily providing parcel delivery and returns management support. The

demand, staffing, and service needs by utilizing highly-skilled, safe
drivers who are managed by Ryder. In addition, Ryder expertly maintains
its fleet through a network of more than 5,000 Ryder technicians.
