Ryder System’s DCC service is a customized suite of transportation management services for the delivery of a customer’s products that optimizes its fleet operations and allows its management to be more focused on core business issues.
Under the contract, Ryder System will provide Shell with a fleet of flat bed trailers, tandem axle tractors, and full time specially certified drivers based at three domiciled locations. Ryder System will outfit all trucks supporting Shell with GreenRoad Technology, an in-cab device that monitors 120 driving maneuvers and alerts drivers to unsafe handling. Ryder System will also provide a management team dedicated to coordinating and monitoring shipments to and from Port Fourchon, Louisiana, Galveston, Texas, and the Gulf of Mexico Shell operated platforms; visibility to all movements through its online track and trace technology and web-based reporting; 24/7 response communication through the port operations; and a flexible network to support continuous improvement in safety, service and cost for Shell’s Gulf Coast terminal operations.
“Ryder System has developed a continuous improvement process that focuses on lean initiatives and is committed to safety, service and cost efficiencies for Shell’s Gulf Coast operations,” said Ryder System’s Vice President of DCC Operations, John Sonia. “We are especially honored to work with a company that mirrors Ryder System’s own commitment to safety and health for its employees and the communities it serves.”
