By: E&P Staff Ryder System Inc. announced that its oldest customer, The Miami Herald Media Co., has renewed a three-year dedicated contract carriage transportation contract, under which Ryder manages delivery of The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald to 18 distribution centers throughout South Florida.
The turnkey service includes 70 drivers, 23 trucks, eight dock employees, order and fleet management, and preventive maintenance. The Herald's business with Ryder dates from 1945.
"Ryder has developed flexible distribution models that change as our business changes, from a generic distribution system to the highly evolved advertising sub-ZIP code based models that we use today," Herald Operations Vice President Craig Woischwill said in a statement. "A cart-based system that we co-developed allows the efficient management and transportation of zoned products from loading and dispatching to final destination."
Ryder supplies customized transportation-management services for delivery of customer products that optimizes fleet operations and allows management to focus on core business issues.
Ryder has business relationships with more than 70 newspapers nationally, including a recently renewed contract with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
