We are working with engine manufacturers to achieve our goal of reducing our emissions by fifteen percent. In 2008, we began field-testing the first hybrid waste collection truck and a first-generation hybrid bulldozer for use at our landfills.

We highly value our Ruan relationships across the board, from John Ruan III’s leadership to the professional drivers, terminal managers and operations group. When there are hiccups, Ruan makes it right, and ensures we don’t have the same problem again. The service is just excellent.

Ruan’s drivers are extremely dedicated to the HON mission. So much so that in the category of customer satisfaction, Ruan has consistently been our number one carrier.

One of the most important functions and greatest expenses we have is delivering material to our customers. We were looking for a more economical way to operate our transportation function without sacrificing service and quality or adversely affecting our employees. After extensive analysis, one company stood head and shoulders above the rest, and that was Ruan.

We’re employing proven technology to solve one of the United States’ biggest economic problems. In addition, we’re combining time-tested fleet management practices to achieve the highest possible productivity.

We knew that focusing on our business and outsourcing our private fleet was a very feasible option for us, but we were primarily focused on the capital investment.

Our search for a transportation and warehouse provider was an extensive one. We evaluated several respectable and successful organizations, but ultimately chose Ruan for its high standards of service and safety along with its longstanding Iowa ties.

Ruan has always been a pleasant and helpful outlet for covering our equipment. They provide detailed information and are always readily available to answer any questions that may arise. I highly recommend them.

We had a very quick 30-day start up right after Christmas, and Ruan's dedicated project team covered every aspect of the process. We were very pleased with the level of expertise brought in by Ruan as well as the exceptional driver rate, which made the transition transparent to our customers.

Ruan is a great transportation partner. We work a load with the TX and IA offices and have had great experience both in dispatch operations and on-time payments. We wish there were more customers like Ruan.

Ruan is one of the most respected transportation firms in the U.S. and is an industry leader in developing sustainability initiatives, so they were a natural fit to help us launch and manage the CNG fleet.

We have partnered with Ruan for several years now and have found them to be extremely professional and very helpful with our drivers. Any issues that arise are quickly addressed and resolved satisfactorily. We advise them of our regular lanes, and they are always looking out for backhaul opportunities that will work for us well in advance. Just what you would expect from a good broker!

Since we began our partnership with Ruan, a great friendship has developed with the Ruan team. I can't begin to speak well enough of these folks' stellar character. In fact, the entire Ruan experience is one which some people never find in a lifetime. Ruan is hands-down at the top of the heap of companies that Cream of the Crop deals with. Therefore, it's not surprising to see our relationship growing with Ruan because they have the highest standards I've seen out of the 500-plus customer base Cream of the Crop has. I'm not one to put my eggs in one basket, but that is quite different altogether in our relationship with Ruan. We are committed to growing with Ruan. I rest well at night, with a sense of trust, loyalty, hope and gratitude for having the good fortune to be partnering with what I believe is the most honest, ethical, dependable and downright friendly carrier in operation. It simply doesn't get any better than Ruan and the fine folks who work hard to make it what it is.

I have interacted with Ruan for over 10 years. The staff that I interact with is very knowledgeable of their client's requirements and is very easy to communicate with. They strive for continuous improvement and are open to new ideas from their carrier partners. Always a pleasure to handle a shipment for Ruan.
