Pay-as-you-go coverage connects large fleets with Ryder’s
industry-leading tools, highly trained technicians and a nationwide
maintenance and repair network for a small monthly fee
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE:R), a leader in commercial
transportation and supply
chain management solutions, today announced the launch of its new
Ryder On-Demand maintenance solution in Canada. The flexible solution
provides private fleet owners and for-hire carriers with pay-as-you-go
preventive maintenance and repair, with access to Ryder Canada’s
nationwide network of 40 service locations and more than 400 trained
technicians, when and where they need it. A small monthly fee opens up
Ryder Canada’s expert vehicle maintenance network to any private fleet
owner, who can then choose and pay for services as needed.
“New complex engine technologies and tightening emissions and safety
regulations make it more challenging than ever to maintain a large fleet
of vehicles,” said
Ryder Canada
Vice President and General Manager,
Fleet Management Solutions,
Jerry Brown
. “Many fleet owners no longer
have the capital or resources to hire and train qualified technicians
and invest in maintenance infrastructure. With Ryder On-Demand, fleet
owners get consistent, professional service from a company with more
than 80 years of experience in heavy, medium and light truck
maintenance. Ryder On-Demand customers can access our maintenance
network as needed, while benefiting from predetermined labour rates and
part pricing on each service visit. This improves the predictability of
their maintenance costs, which is an incredible value for large fleets.”
Customer vehicles are maintained by Ryder Canada’s OEM-trained,
certified technicians who know how to service and repair all major
engine makes and drivelines, including today’s advanced technology.
Technicians are cross-trained in multiple disciplines, including the
latest electronics, components, and warranty work. State-of-the-art
maintenance facilities feature leading-edge diagnostics technologies and
computer-assisted scheduling based on vehicle types and driving habits.
In addition to maintenance and repair, customers have access to 24/7
roadside assistance, extended repair hours, and available replacement
vehicles. The benefit of working with one national provider also means
fewer vendors to manage, less paperwork and the assurance that
customers’ fleets are covered wherever they go.
