Find Out What's New With an Old Friend—Reddaway!

There's a lot changing at Reddaway . . . and a lot that's staying the same.

In 1919, William Arthur Reddaway launched his trucking company in his hometown of Oregon City, OR, with a single Model T truck.

For the next 90 years, the Reddaway name meant high-quality service, on-time performance, claim-free shipping and entrepreneurial employees who have the regional expertise to make it happen. And that's not changing!

What is changing is our name. As we celebrate our 90th anniversary, we're going back to our heritage. That means going forward we'll be known simply as "Reddaway."

Today's Reddaway is part of YRC Worldwide, the industry leader in the transportation of large shipments. The company now includes over 3,500 employees and 62 service centers in AZ, CA, CO, ID, MT, NV, OR, UT, WA, and WY, as well as AK and BC.

Today, we're also introducing Reddaway Today, our new monthly electronic newsletter. Reddaway Today was created to give you ideas on how to better manage your supply chain. You'll find the latest news from Reddaway, recent industry news, and tips for making your life easier.

Industry Information

IMF Sees Stronger Global Rebound

In early July, the International Monetary Fund revised its forecast, predicting the global economic rebound next year will be stronger than it previously forecast. It cites stabilization in financial systems and moderation in the pace of contractions in the U.S. and Japan. While various international organizations report on financial trends, the IMF has been one of the most pessimistic of late, making its forecast change all the more encouraging.

Highway Safety Improves

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the number of truck-involved fatalities declined 12 percent in 2008, bringing it to the lowest level since the U.S. Department of Transportation began keeping those statistics in 1975. In addition, the NHTSA study also reveals that overall motor vehicle fatalities are down 9.7 percent--their lowest level since 1961.

Reddaway Handles the Pressure

For a prominent nursery supply company, the seasonal nature of its business means most orders ship to its retail customers in a two-to-three month time period. That's a lot of pressure for a transportation provider. As the company's primary shipping partner, we've got it under control.

Good communication, dedicated and professional people and fantastic sales support ensure products arrive at the stores and are on the shelves when customers are ready to shop.

Timely pickup and on-time delivery of each of the 2,000 monthly shipments Reddaway handles for this customer during its busy season are two more reasons why our partnership has lasted 14 years.

And with our regional expertise in the Pacific Northwest, Southwest and inter-mountain regions, Reddaway can handle this customer's far-reaching delivery needs.

To discover how Reddaway can deliver on the transportation pressure points in your supply chain, contact your account manager or call our Customer Care Group at
