May 21, 2026

Ruan is proud to announce it has been honored by Target with two prestigious recognitions at the 2026 Partner Summit: Food Supply Chain Carrier Partner Award and Backhaul/RS Provider of the Year. These awards highlight Ruan’s exceptional performance, innovation, and long-standing partnership within Target’s food supply chain network.

As a foundational partner in Target’s food network since its inception, Ruan has consistently delivered operational excellence while driving continuous improvement. Throughout 2025, Ruan ranked among Target’s top three Middle Mile providers, leading in both EDI compliance and backhaul on-time delivery, which are critical factors in maintaining a reliable and efficient supply chain. Ruan also played a vital role in a network-wide modeling initiative that helped redesign Middle Mile store delivery bundles, creating meaningful fleet efficiencies and reducing transportation costs across the network. 

“These awards are especially meaningful because they reflect the hard work, collaboration, and commitment our team delivers every day,” said Jeremy Carmichael, Vice President of Operations at Ruan. “This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our people, the strength of our partnership with Target, and our shared focus on continuous improvement. We are grateful for Target’s trust and proud to support such an important supply chain while helping drive success for the future.”

These recognitions underscore Ruan’s commitment to safety, operational excellence, and customer-focused innovation. By delivering dedicated transportation solutions that strengthen Target’s supply chain, Ruan continues to help one of the nation’s leading retailers better serve guests while building a stronger, more efficient logistics network for the future.
