Just outside of downtown Nashville, the new Ryder Last Mile
multiclient warehouse located in Smyrna, Tennessee opened in
February at 100,000 square feet with room to expand to accommodate
customer growth as well as seasonal and market fluctuations. And
earlier this month, just outside of Boise, Ryder opened a
70,000-square-foot multiclient facility in Caldwell, Idaho, also
with room for expansion.
“We made the decision to invest in the Nashville and Boise
markets for this latest expansion of our last-mile delivery network
because it aligns with our broader strategy to continually position
our customers closer to their end-consumers,” says Steve Sensing,
president of supply chain solutions for Ryder. “With burgeoning
populations and quick access to highway and rail networks, these
two new markets increase speed-to-market, which is critical in
today’s highly competitive environment and vital to our customers’
growth strategies.”
With more than 100 additional locations, the Ryder Last Mile
network covers 95% of the U.S., including Puerto Rico and Hawaii,
within a two-day timeframe.
The customizable delivery options include four tiers of service:
Front Door; Over the Threshold; Room of Choice; and White-Glove
Delivery, which includes assembly, hook-up, and installation.
And to enhance the Ryder Last Mile customer experience, Ryder
continues to invest heavily in visibility technology such as
RyderViewTM, which enables consumers to schedule deliveries at
their convenience and then easily track their orders in real-time.
At the point of delivery, RyderView offers electronic proof of
delivery and an option for customers to complete an automated
survey.
