Dyno Merchandise is a leading provider of sewing notions, craft tools, fashion art and rain gear products sold through mass merchants, drug stores, supermarkets and craft stores. Its Canada revenue was down because of the poor performance of its LTL carrier. Dyno Merchandise knew they needed to switch providers and looked for one that was well connected with the retail industry and could deliver seamless service into Canada. The company turned to YRC Freight.

• Dyno Merchandise needed to reduce the invoice deductions caused by late deliveries in Canada, which cut into their profitability.
• They wanted to improve customer relations and scorecard performance with key big-box customers.
• Time and administrative costs associated with tracking and retrieval of lost shipments were a mounting problem.
• The customer was looking for ways to streamline replenishment activities for greater efficiencies and more-consistent and -timely deliveries.
