Cardinal had 2022 revenue of around $1.1 billion, according to Transport Topics\u2019 ranking of top dedicated carriers.<\/p>\n<p>The buyout will expand DTS\u2019 scale and market presence, advancing Ryder\u2019s focus on dedicated services as a key strategic priority. DTS aims to provide customers with a comprehensive solution encompassing equipment, drivers, routing expertise and more.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Ryder said the Cardinal acquisition will drive profitable growth in its dedicated business starting in 2025 after integration completion. While Cardinal&#8217;s operations will likely be absorbed across Ryder\u2019s business segments, the deal appears centered on turbocharging DTS specifically.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combined_Experience\"><\/span>Combined Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cardinal brings specialized experience in key verticals like consumer goods, retail, grocery, industrial and building supplies \u2013 areas highly relevant to Ryder\u2019s customer base.<\/p>\n<p>Cardinal was founded in 1997 by CEO Tom Hostetler and Chairman Vin McLoughlin, both formerly of Ryder. In a statement, Hostetler highlighted the culture match and their shared history as factors for choosing Ryder. &#8220;We experienced firsthand Ryder\u2019s people-first, customer-centric culture, and that had an impact on us,&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p>The close alignment in values and collaborative history suggests an easier path to integration between the companies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expanded_Midwest_Presence\"><\/span>Expanded Midwest Presence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to scaling overall dedicated capacity, the Cardinal acquisition significantly bolsters Ryder\u2019s Midwest footprint. Ryder has actively expanded its dedicated presence across Minnesota, Illinois and Ohio over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinal deal caps this regional buildout with Cardinal\u2019s strong positions across key Midwest states. Folding these operations under Ryder\u2019s umbrella enables expanded dedicated coverage and service integration opportunities.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Positioned_for_Growth\"><\/span>Positioned for Growth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Cardinal Logistics deal caps off recent acquisitions for Ryder expanding its dedicated footprint across the Midwest, deepening expertise in key customer verticals.<\/p>\n<p>Combined with organic growth and new business wins, Ryder now appears firmly positioned to scale up its asset-light, high-service dedicated offering in coming years.<\/p>\n<p>With both companies sharing roots back to Ryder\u2019s beginnings, this acquisition brings things full circle while setting the stage for Ryder\u2019s next chapter of high-impact dedicated growth.<\/p>\n<p>By leveraging their expertise and resources, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/\">Lading Logistics<\/a><\/strong> aims to provide efficient and reliable international shipping and logistics solutions for their clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryder System is significantly expanding its dedicated transportation services business with the acquisition of Cardinal Logistics from investment firm H.I.G Capital.
