Ryder System generated record revenue and lower net earnings in the first quarter as strong sales for the Miami-based equipment leasing and logistics service provider were offset by a write-down of goodwill for its operations in the United Kingdom and higher expenses associated with the sale of used vehicles.

This report illustrates the results achieved by three different companies when they questioned whether it was better to lease or own their fleet. How did their decision affect not only their transportation costs, but how their business runs?

Ryder System Inc.is one company whose fleet maintenance technicians are using mobile lifts to get under big rigs.

Escalating costs are causing fleet owners to take a closer look at their total cost of ownership (TCO). But when doing so, many don’t take into account all the factors that make up their TCO and make generic comparisons that can be misleading. In this report, you’ll learn all the components that need to be calculated for an accurate TCO, and how a tool developed by Ryder helps fleet owners understand their costs, while saving money on their transportation spend.

Having the right fleet for your business can give you an advantage over the competition and lower transportation costs. The question is: Should that fleet be private or dedicated. Learn how you can answer that in this report.

To stay in top shape, your fleet needs to be well maintained. But that in itself can pose challenges – from managing several local providers to paying inconsistent rates and not being able to get your truck in the shop at a moment’s notice. 

For the past decade and a half, those who predicted the driver shortage have offered their advice on curbing the shortage. While an abundance of information like this exists, it lacks one of the main insights companies can use to overcome the shortage and high turnover – the voice of truck drivers.
