“Ryder is trusted to operate behind the scenes of some of the best run supply chains in the world because of our experienced people, deep industry expertise, and LEAN operating systems,” said Steve Sensing, President for Global Supply Chain Solutions, Ryder. “We are proud to be recognized by Inbound Logistics as an industry leader.”

Ryder’s Supply Chain Solutions business segment offers a broad range of innovative services for companies in targeted industries designed to optimize day-to-day logistics operations and synchronize the supply of parts and finished goods with customer demand. Solutions are strategically engineered to address customer requirements, and include lead logistics management, warehousing, transportation management, packaging, and other value-added services. Ryder distinguishes itself through its deep industry knowledge, commitment to LEAN guiding principles, and providing the best execution.

Ryder’s LEAN culture helps businesses to achieve peak performance, increase profitability, and efficiency – all while improving quality. Operating more than 275 facilities with 40 million square feet of warehouse space, as well as dedicated or multi-client sites, Ryder offers flexible solutions, no matter how challenging or diverse a customer’s needs may be. The Company, founded in 1933, operates behind the scenes, managing critical transportation and logistics functions for more than 50,000 customers, many of which make the products that consumers use every day. Ryder employs more than 33,000 people and manages a fleet of 231,900 commercial vehicles.

“Every year, leading third-party logistics providers of all shapes and sizes submit their credentials, hoping to match their solutions with our readers’ business logistics needs. It remains an increasingly difficult task for the Inbound Logistics editorial team to narrow down the list to only 100 top 3PL providers,” said Inbound Logistics Editor, Felecia Stratton. “Ryder was selected as a Top 100 3PL Provider because its solutions solve specific logistics challenges, improve processes, and create a ripple effect of efficiencies for our readers across their entire value chain.”

Earlier this year, Inbound Logistics also named Ryder one of its “Green Supply Chain Partners” for the eighth consecutive year. The magazine selects “Green Supply Chain Partners” that demonstrate deep commitment to green initiatives in transportation and supply chain sustainability. Ryder was recognized this year for engaging with customers to help them “green” their transportation solutions by making natural gas vehicles available to rent or lease.
