Ryder is the 2024 "Carrier of the Year" for Abt Electronics. Presented during Abt’s annual awards ceremony at its headquarters in Glenview, Illinois, the award recognizes Ryder Last Mile for delivering, through its qualified carrier network, an impressive 99.97% damage-free rate.

“Ryder’s responsiveness, reliability, and hands-on approach to problem-solving have made them a trusted resource in ensuring that we can service our customers outside of our home base of Chicagoland with the same care that our own drivers have been delivering since 1936,” says Gary Quinton, logistics manager at Abt. “This award celebrates that relationship and our many satisfied Abt customers.”

With RyderView^TM technology, Abt customers can self-schedule and reschedule their last-mile deliveries at their convenience and easily track their orders in real-time – capabilities that, according to a recent study, 50% of all consumers now prioritize. And, for city dwellers, the importance placed on self-scheduling grows to 70%.

“When Abt turned to Ryder to help grow its e-commerce business, we leaned in to what we know about ever-evolving consumer expectations. They increasingly crave options and flexibility with deliveries, value reliability, and expect real-time visibility into their orders. RyderView gives them that,” says Joel Eigege, vice president of Ryder Last Mile for big-and-bulky goods. “We also know that satisfaction with online order delivery significantly influences whether consumers will purchase from brands again. That’s why companies like Abt rely on Ryder’s operational expertise and advanced technology solutions, so they can keep their promises to their customers.”

The Ryder Last Mile network services 100% of ZIP codes across the U.S., offering warehousing and tiered-delivery options, including white-glove service, and integrated returns management.
