Supplier Transportation Routing Manual
Hendrickson Supplier Responsibilities
Hendrickson/Watson & Chalin locations in North America utilize Ryder Integrated Logistics for all transportation routing and shipment processing. All supplier shipping activity will be directed to Ryder for effective and timely shipment planning and execution.
Suppliers to Hendrickson / Watson & Chalin receive the Hendrickson-Ryder Online Training Manual and an option for a telephone-based training session. These resources provide guidance for the setup process and establishing system access, as well as instructions for shipment entry and Bill of Lading creation. (If you are a current supplier, and have not received this document and/or training, or if you supply a Hendrickson location outside of North America, please contact your Materials / Purchasing representative.)
Low Weight Shipments
Shipments weighing less than 150 pounds should be shipped via UPS Parcel Ground Service (not through Ryder) using the appropriate UPS Parcel Account Number. (UPS Parcel Account Numbers can be found in the Supplier Transportation Routing Manual available with in the Supplier Portal.) Shipments are to be set up directly with UPS Parcel Service (not with UPS Freight Service).
Shipment Notification
All supplier shipments to Hendrickson / Watson & Chalin weighing more than 150 pounds will be processed through Ryder’s online shipment planning tool.
- Login to Ryder Online and choose the Ryder Entry option; complete the required fields and submit to Ryder 24 to 48 hours in advance of requested pick-up time. (Please allow additional time for flatbeds or specialized equipment.) Shipments entered with less than the requested lead time may be subject to delay.
- Contact the Ryder Operations Management Center (OMC) with any questions, to make changes to shipments, or to report shipment delays.
- Review the website for updates to your shipment, and confirm the pick-up date, carrier assignment, and shipment reference number. You may also setup automatic email alerts to notify you when the carrier planning is complete.
- Notify the Hendrickson/Watson & Chalin Materials Planner if your shipment will not meet the required delivery date.
- Notify Ryder if the carrier does not arrive as assigned.
Planned Route Shipments
Suppliers with frequent, large volume shipments at regular intervals will be targeted for pre-planned transportation. Ryder will work with Hendrickson/Watson & Chalin and their suppliers to establish a schedule for these pre-planned shipments. These “planned routes” do not require advance notification. However, in the event of a change to the planned route or a cancellation (e.g., due to plant shutdown or holiday) a route cancellation is required.
Milk Runs
Ryder also looks for opportunities to string together multiple supplier shipments within a geographic region or along a path leading to the plants, between the plants, and/or between suppliers. Ryder then determines optimal pick-up times and dates which are convenient for both the plant and supplier. Carriers that can make the runs on a consistent, regular basis are secured for these “milk run” deliveries.

Transit time must be considered when determining the ship date required to make an on-time delivery to Hendrickson/Watson & Chalin.
Load / Unload
Freight must be loaded or unloaded within 1 hour. If additional time is needed, Ryder must be notified, as additional charges may apply.
Late Shipments and Short Shipped Orders

Late shipments should be arranged by the supplier with the cost of transportation paid by the supplier. If a supplier is arranging transportation, they must provide the Hendrickson/Watson & Chalin Material Planner with the shipping information in writing prior to departure.
Expedited Shipments
Ryder will not arrange for an expedited delivery unless it is approved by Hendrickson/Watson & Chalin personnel.

- Freight cost for expedites arranged by Hendrickson/Watson & Chalin to resolve past due shipments or quality issues.
Ryder Responsibilities
Ryder is responsible for mode determination and carrier selection based on provided shipment characteristics and delivery requirements (including hazardous and international shipments).
Ryder will process all shipment requests received within the specified lead time within 2 hours. Shipments received with less lead time will be processed as exceptions and returned as quickly as possible.
The carrier assignment, shipment reference number, and pickup date will be returned to the requester via Ryder Online for inclusion on vendor shipping documentation.
