Ruan Transportation Management Systems has won a contract to provide dedicated private carriage services for Holsum Bakery in Arizona.

The contract involves the shuttling of products to the bakery's main plant in Phoenix from two other baking facilities as well as running products nightly to independent distributors throughout Phoenix and Arizona.
Holsum was established in 1881 and is Arizona's oldest family-owned bakery. Today, it is the largest bread supplier in the Southwest. The bakery also owns and operates nine depots and 13 thrift stores in Arizona, where the company is the market-share leader of commercially baked bread and bun products. Holsum is also one of only three independent bakeries in the United States that supplies buns to a major fast food chain.
Holsum made the decision to outsource because of a system change in equipment that increased trailer capacity. Ruan assisted in the transition by helping close the shop, sell the equipment and parts, and applying decals to the new equipment. Ruan also offered positions to existing drivers who qualified.
