recognized in the IR Global Rankings (IRGR) as one of the top five
companies in two categories: Best Ranked Financial Disclosure Procedures

dedicated online investor center complements Ryder’s comprehensive
investor relations program, which includes ongoing dialogue with
participants in the equity markets; participation in numerous equity
investment conferences; hosting investors at the company’s headquarters
in Miami; and providing tours of Ryder’s operating facilities.
