Business Overview
Ryder operates three business segments: Fleet Management Solutions; Supply Chain Solutions; and Dedicated Contract Carriage.
Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Through the FMS business, Ryder provides customers with flexible solutions designed to improve their competitive positions by allowing them to focus on their core business, lower their costs, and redirect capital to other parts of their business. Our solutions also enable customers to improve the uptime and reliability of their fleets, thereby minimizing fleet-related business disruptions and risks.
Ryder’s FMS product offering is comprised primarily of contractual-based full service leasing and contract maintenance services. The Company also offers transactional fleet solutions including commercial truck rental, maintenance services, and value-added fleet support services such as insurance, vehicle administration, and fuel services. In addition, we provide our customers with access to a large selection of used trucks, tractors, and trailers through our used vehicle sales program.
Ryder’s Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business offers a broad range of innovative lead logistics management services that are designed to optimize a customer’s global supply chain by directing the movement of materials, funds, and information from the acquisition of raw materials to the delivery of the finished product to the end-user. The SCS product offering is organized into three categories: professional services (strategy, design and engineering), distribution operations (warehousing), and transportation solutions.
Through Ryder’s Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment, we combine the equipment, maintenance, and administrative services of a full service lease with drivers and additional services to provide a customer with a dedicated transportation solution that is designed to increase their competitive position, improve risk management, and integrate their transportation needs with their overall supply chain. Such additional services include routing and scheduling, fleet sizing, safety, regulatory compliance, risk management, technology and communication systems support. Ryder’s DCC solution offers a high degree of specialization to meet the needs of customers with high service requirements such as tight delivery windows, high-value or time-sensitive freight, closed-loop distribution, and multi-stop shipments.
