greater Chicago area in early January. The nearly

“The multiclient warehouse expands our footprint in a key
distribution hub, which is a one- to two-day drive from about half
of the U.S. population. Chicagoland also has a dense labor force,
and with other Ryder warehouse operations nearby, we can offer the
flexibility customers often need to manage seasonal and market
changes,” says Darin Cooprider, senior vice president of
consumer-packaged goods for Ryder.
The company plans to recruit for approximately 100 positions to
support the warehouse operations. The facility will feature 54
cross-dock positions, 162 trailer stalls, access to area railroad
ramps, ambient temperature controls, and food-grade
certification.
Ryder currently serves nine out of the top 10 U.S. food and
beverage companies. And late last year, the company announced it
was adding multiclient warehousing capabilities to its service
offerings with the acquisition of Midwest Warehouse &
Distribution System, which primarily served consumer-packaged goods
customers. With that acquisition, Ryder gained nine multiclient and
eight dedicated-customer warehouses, primarily in the greater
Chicago area.
“Multiclient warehouses are a great entry point for new
customers looking for a 3PL provider that can scale with them as
they evolve,” adds Cooprider. “We can seamlessly transition
customers into dedicated facilities, offer a flexible mix of
transportation solutions to suit changing needs, and offer
real-time visibility and collaboration technology so our customers
can easily see across their end-to-end supply chains, avoid costly
delays, and continually find efficiency gains.”
Ryder operates more than 330 warehouses encompassing more than
80 million square feet of space across North America. The company’s
warehouse and distribution capabilities include supply chain
engineering and optimization, integrated technology and data
analytics, value-added services, and LEAN continuous improvement
practices for efficient operations.
