BFNT, Ryder extend their collaboration

Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire LLC (BFNT) and Ryder System Inc are extending their agreement, a collaboration that began in 1990. BFNT supplies Ryder's new tire needs, while Bandag Inc provides Ryder with retreading services.

Dealers for Bridgestone and Bandag provide local Ryder facilities with just-in-time inventory, tire maintenance, wheel maintenance, retreading, and emergency road services. Since 1990, Ryder has purchased more than 4.9 million original equipment and replacement tires — that's nearly 1,000 new Bridgestone tires every day.
