While Ryder is interested in tech solutions that make existing systems more efficient, “when we put our dollars behind something,” Phillips said, “we're looking for the disruptors, for a way to change the operating model.” Phillips' comments came during a fireside chat with FreightWaves CEO Craig Fuller at Tuesday's virtual Supply Chain Summit.
