Case Study: Willow Run Foods achieves 98% fleet uptime and annual fuel savings with Ryder fleet leasing and maintenance

Willow Run Foods - Customer Case Study

Willow Run Foods, a distributor for major fast-food chains, faced the critical challenge of maintaining a highly reliable and efficient delivery fleet to meet tight, just-in-time schedules for perishable goods. Their previous leasing provider was not meeting service levels, prompting them to partner with vendor Ryder for a ChoiceLease Full Service leasing solution to ensure optimal fleet performance and vehicle uptime.

Ryder implemented a comprehensive solution that provided a customized leased fleet and established an on-site maintenance operation where their technicians worked side-by-side with the customer's team. This partnership resulted in significant achievements for Willow Run, including over $100,000 in annual fuel savings, 98% fleet uptime, a 50-ton reduction in carbon footprint, and fully predictable monthly costs.
