70 J.B. Hunt drivers participating in Wreaths Across America
Summary
A collaboration with BNSF Railway will make this year’s delivery the largest number of Intermodal loads hauled in the company’s nine-year history of supporting Wreaths Across America. The nearly 550,000-square-foot facility in North Aurora, Illinois, will primarily serve shippers of consumer-packaged goods, including food and beverage, health and beauty, and household products, as well as general retail merchandise. “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,” said Darin Cooprider, senior vice president of consumer-packaged goods for Ryder. 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. “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.” Surgenor Truck Group locations in Kingston and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, are now both Mack Trucks and Volvo Certified Electric Vehicle (EV) Dealers, the company announced Tuesday.
