Case Study: Sherwood Foods achieves responsive fleet management with Ryder

Sherwood Foods - Customer Case Study

Sherwood Food Distributors, a large independent food distributor, faced the challenge of shipping 16 million pounds of perishable goods weekly while ensuring on-time deliveries to maintain customer satisfaction. To manage its fleet of over 250 tractor trailers efficiently and avoid the impact of any breakdowns, the company partnered with vendor Ryder.

Ryder implemented its Full Service Lease solution, which provided a customizable fleet and on-site maintenance managed by expert technicians. This partnership resulted in improved fleet responsiveness, substantial cost savings from better fuel efficiency, and predictable expenses. The solution ensured maximum vehicle uptime, allowing Sherwood to reliably meet its tight delivery windows and support its business growth, including successfully expanding into new markets.
