“We are thrilled to continue working with Royal Building and
cultivating our longstanding relationship with them,” said John
Diez, President, Dedicated Transportation Solutions, Ryder. “Ryder
is committed to ensuring that Royal’s transportation network
supports their ongoing growth.”
Ryder has provided its dedicated service to Royal Building
Products since 1994. The company turned to Ryder for dedicated
transportation services for drivers, tractors, and trailers
operating from locations in Marion, Va.; Bristol, Tenn.; and
Newbern, Tenn. Ryder Dedicated makes delivering high-truckload
volumes easier with access to the tough-to-find specialized
equipment it takes to deliver products such as 16- to 20-foot-long
PVC moldings, as well as pipe and the associated fittings.
Over the past two decades of partnership with Ryder, Royal
Building Products has achieved shorter lead times, faster inventory
turns, and enhanced customer service. Ryder has also helped the
company experience savings resulting from backhauls, multi-location
synergies, and Ryder’s fuel program. Royal Building has experienced
less idle time and fewer empty miles, which have led to lower fuel
costs. Using one-way carriers to supplement the dedicated service
has also translated into significant savings. In addition, improved
fill rates have been made possible due to more efficient scheduling
of deliveries.
“We’ve changed a lot over the years,” said Cliff Sturgill,
Transportation Manager, Royal Building Products. “We’ve bought and
sold businesses, added and moved locations, and our customer base
and product mixes have continued to evolve. With Ryder, we have a
long-term partner that understands our business and grows and
changes with us.”
With 23 manufacturing locations in the U.S. and Canada, Royal
Building Products serves dealers, distributors, and builders with a
growing line of building products, and has been doing so for nearly
50 years.
