To Whiplash’s Valued Customers,
Earlier today, we announced Ryder has entered into an agreement to acquire Whiplash. On behalf of Ryder, I want to express our excitement for this announcement. The pairing of our two companies will provide you, as a customer of Whiplash, access to Ryder’s extensive nationwide network and end-to-end transportation solutions, with the level of service and innovative technology you know and trust.
We know Whiplash was built on an unwavering commitment to provide exceptional customer service, and I want to assure you that will not change. At Ryder, the values our company has embodied for nearly 90 years – trust, safety, expertise, innovation, and collaboration – are aligned with the values of Whiplash. Our solutions cover the supply chain from end-to-end, including warehousing, transportation logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, and last-mile delivery, while providing a foundation for long-term growth and efficiency through continuous improvement.
I want to assure you that your contacts and relationships will not change. Ryder has tasked the Whiplash leadership team to lead the e-commerce division within the supply chain solutions business unit to execute the growth and customer solutions in this segment.
