Ruan DCC

Our Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) service allows us to integrate seamlessly with our clients’ teams to create systems that solely focus on improving supply chain efficiency.

Switching to Ruan’s DCC service is an excellent bottom line decision. We assume existing equipment obligations, which frees up capital. The liability and risk of operating a private fleet is reduced. And, clients experience a reduction in transportation costs due to our operating efficiency and route optimization systems while maintaining outstanding customer service.

Ruan Integrated Solutions

Ruan has extensive logistics, cross dock and warehouse management experience. Our Integrated Solutions service combines our non-asset and asset-based capabilities coupled with optimal technology. We offer industry-leading supply chain event management and workflow, rich analytics, quarterly KPI reporting and a sophisticated transportation planning engine to optimize shipments while reducing costs.

Leading From The Front

Our supply chain solutions are successful because we constantly strive to improve. Ruan earned a 2012 SmartWay Excellence Award for helping lead the freight industry to a more sustainable future. We lead the industry in safety innovations and research, and share our findings to help make the roads safer. Ruan’s proprietary Megasafe Safe Driving Program educates drivers about how certain driving behaviors can affect their Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) scores and ensures that all of our drivers employ safe driving techniques and keep Ruan’s CSA score—and their own—in the satisfactory range.

Committed to Customers

The result is an unparalleled commitment to our customers. Our client retention rate remains 99.7%. We execute seamless startup implementations and assign dedicated drivers who learn our clients’ business and their needs. Our systems and procedures are designed to ensure the highest product safety and security. We provide 24/7 care so that when our clients need us—whenever they need us—we’re there.

Since our founding in 1932, Ruan has done things the right way. We work hard, we treat our customers with respect and integrity and we constantly strive to improve the efficiency of our clients’ supply chains.

That’s dedication. That’s the Ruan difference.
