Two Canadian Fleets Take Home Ryder Awards

MIAMI, FL – Two Canadian fleets were among the nearly dozen and half that were honored by Ryder System as its top carriers of the year.

Bison Transport Inc. was named the Canadian truckload carrier of the year while Midland Transport Ltd. received the Canadian less-than-truckload carrier honor in the annual Ryder Carrier Quality Awards.

This award recognizes excellence through a variety of metrics, including on-time performance, claims handling, customer service, technology applications, economic value, and innovation for the last full calendar year, according to Ryder, which purchases or executes over US$5 billion annually in freight moves on behalf of its customers.

“Much of what we do for our customers is made possible thanks in part to the support we receive from our carriers,” said Dave Belter, vice president and general manager of transportation management for Ryder. “We thank and congratulate them for going above and beyond to ensure that goods are moved in a safe, timely, and efficient manner.”
