Case Study: Apria Healthcare achieves $1M+ annual supply chain savings with Ryder Dedicated Transportation Solutions

Apria Healthcare - Customer Case Study

Apria Healthcare, a leading provider of home medical equipment, faced significant supply chain inefficiencies. Their challenge involved hundreds of costly direct supplier shipments to distribution centers, minimal use of truckload pricing, and dedicated routes that often ran half empty on return trips. To address this, they partnered with vendor Ryder for dedicated transportation solutions.

Ryder implemented a tailored solution by re-engineering Apria's transportation network and optimizing all routes. This involved consolidating inbound shipments into full truckloads and utilizing backhaul lanes for supplier deliveries. The results were substantial, with Ryder's solution delivering over $1 million in annual cost savings, a major reduction in empty miles, and a decreased carbon footprint, all contributing to improved operational efficiency.
