Case Study: O'Neal Steel achieves reduced transportation costs and improved delivery reliability with Ruan

O'Neal Steel - Customer Case Study

Ruan, a transportation leader with deep experience in flatbed steel hauling, helps steel service centers and mills tackle rising transportation costs, regulatory complexity and chronic driver shortages. Steel companies face high delivery costs and logistical headaches—especially for just-in-time shipments and regulatory reporting—which made outsourcing and supply‑chain optimization an attractive option.

Ruan offers Dedicated Contract Carriage (retaining about 80% of a client’s drivers) plus logistics services, route/load optimization and real‑time tracking; it owns and maintains the fleet, reducing clients’ capex, insurance and liability. The result is higher driver productivity, steadier service, preserved brand and product integrity, improved cash flow and measurable cost reductions—giving steel customers a clear competitive advantage.
