Trailer maker Wabash last week announced two long-term agreements. One is with Ryerson, a value-added processor and distributor of industrial metals for 10 years, marking its importance as a strategic supplier partner to the manufacturer. The other is a multiyear supply agreement with carrier J.B. Hunt. The long-term order agreement with J.B. Hunt couples with Wabash’s earlier 10-year agreement with aluminum supplier Hydro, to provide certainty that it can meet pent-up demand as its additional dry van capacity comes online in early 2023.
