Ryder System Strengthens Southeast Network With McDonough Expansion

Ryder System R is strengthening its Southeast growth strategy with the launch of its new full-service facility in McDonough, GA, a prime location near I-75 and major distribution hubs. By expanding its rental, leasing and maintenance footprint in South Atlanta’s logistics corridor, the company is directly addressing rising demand from e-commerce, manufacturing and regional distribution customers. Following closely on its Nashville-area opening, this move reinforces Ryder’s commitment to scaling in high-growth freight markets.The new facility boosts R’s service capabilities with five drive-through maintenance bays and RyderGyde technology for real-time fleet visibility and shop status updates. By combining physical infrastructure with digital fleet intelligence, Ryder is improving vehicle uptime, service efficiency and customer experience. This tech-enabled approach strengthens the company’s competitive positioning and supports higher-value, recurring service relationships.McDonough’s rapid emergence as an inland port and logistics hub further enhances the strategic impact of this investment. With direct connectivity to Atlanta and the expanding Port of Savannah, the region continues to attract industrial and distribution activity that fuels demand for fleet services. By adding jobs and expanding local service capacity, Ryder is positioning itself to capture long-term growth from Georgia’s fast-growing $83 billion logistics economy.R Share Price PerformanceDriven by such innovative efforts, shares of R have gained 39.3% over the past year, outperforming the 7.6% growth of its Zacks Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry.  Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchR’s Zacks RankRyder System currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).Stocks to ConsiderInvestors interested in the Zacks Transportation sector may consider Expeditors International of Washington EXPD and SkyWest SKYW.EXPD currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
