Ryder Earns 3PL Cross-Border Security Certification

Ryder System said it has been certified as a third-party logistics provider in the Custom-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program, an initiative that seeks to promote supply chain security and reduce border vulnerabilities.

Ryder said in a statement Wednesday that it had been certified in C-TPAT’s highway carrier program in 2003. Through C-TPAT, the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border protection work with importers, carriers, brokers, warehouse operators and manufacturers who conduct cross-border operations, Ryder said.

To become C-TPAT certified, a business must apply for the program and conduct assessments of its supply chain security, Ryder said.

Ryder System is ranked No. 8 on the Transport Topics 50 listing of U.S. and Canadian logistics companies.
