And so it begins! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Just got word this morning that Ryder Fleet Products has ceased operations!

This is some kinda serious folks, Ryder was a HUGE part of the trucking/agriculture industry.

JUST SAD!

Is this the same Ryder as what is/was Ryder truck leasing?

When I was in college in the mid 90’s, I was a delivery driver for the NAPA on the Northwest corner of Indianapolis (this store is no longer there) and I delivered TONS of part to the Ryder truck yard around the corner (that facility is now Dickinson Fleet Services). They worked on all Ryder vehicles, from the E-Series ford vans to the big straight trucks and semis. I got to see a lot of neat stuff working that job, I really liked it. I delivered to places that serviced golf course equipment, a couple small engine/mower shops to through some of the fleet shops in the area. We also served the Mayflower shop when it was still there.
