Winston Score History

The full picture

Ryder System is a logistics and transportation company that helps businesses move goods and manage their fleets of trucks. Its main services include leasing and renting commercial trucks, managing entire fleets for other companies, and running supply chain and warehouse operations. Customers range from large retailers and manufacturers to healthcare companies — essentially any business that needs to move products but does not want to own and manage its own trucks.

Ryder makes money through long-term lease contracts, shorter-term rentals, and fees for managing logistics operations on behalf of clients. It operates primarily in the United States, with some presence in Canada and Europe, and generates roughly $12 billion in annual revenue. Its competitive edge comes from its large, established network of maintenance facilities and deep customer relationships built over decades. The main risk is that its business is closely tied to the health of the broader economy — when companies ship less, demand for Ryder's trucks and logistics services tends to fall.
