The facility opening in Norton reflects the strong growth Ryder
is experiencing in the area as the company recently outgrew its
facility in West Bridgewater, MA. The West Bridgewater location
will continue to operate, and the two will work in tandem to
support the significant customer base in the region.
“This new facility located in Norton will allow us to better
serve our growing customer base in Massachusetts,” says Dennis
Cooke, Ryder President of Fleet Management Solutions. “Its
convenient location will allow us to provide a wide array of
transportation services and allows us room to expand as we further
develop our business in the region.”
The new Ryder facility, located at 60 Commerce Way,

the major highways of Interstate 495, Route 24, and Route 95,
servicing the greater Boston area, as well as Cape Cod and the
MetroWest region.
The greater Boston area is a top 25 growth market in the United
States, and Norton, MA, is an optimal location for serving existing
and new customers in this market, particularly companies from the
seafood and beverage industries.
