This section requires expansion. |
Ryder was founded in Miami, Florida in 1933 by James Ryder as a concrete hauling company with one truck, a 1931 Model "A" Ford.[1] Within a few years,[when?] the business expanded to leasing trucks to other companies. This led to Ryder changing its focus from distribution to leasing. By 1939, Ryder's truck fleet had increased to 50. Ryder bought Great Southern Trucking Company in 1952. In 1955 Ryder System, Inc. was formed to combine Great Southern and Ryder Truck Rental. Ryder System went public in 1955.[6] By the 1960s and 1970s, Ryder had expanded into the distribution and supply chain markets.
In 2008, Ryder acquired three regional competitors: Pollock, Lily Transportation and Gator Leasing.
James A. Ryder, founder and chairman, retired in 1978.[1]
Business [link]
Ryder divides its business into three segments: Fleet Management Solutions, Supply Chain Solutions, and Dedicated Contract Carriage. In 2008 (the last year whose report is posted online) the total company revenue was $ 6.2 billion with profits (earnings before income taxes) of $ 459 million. The numbers mentioned below are before eliminations.[7] The basic variables are who owns the trucks, maintains the trucks, pays the drivers, does the warehousing, and supervises the driving.
Fleet management [link]
Ryder's fleet management business is its largest business segment, accounting for 71% of its revenue for a total of $ 4.4 billion. Profit of $ 398 million was 86% of the total.[7] This arm of the business does contract based full service leasing, contract maintenance, commercial rental and fleet support services. Under full service leasing Ryder owns and maintains the trucks and the customer decides where they go. In contract maintenance Ryder just takes care of the trucks. Commercial rentals are the white Ryder trucks which the contract customers can rent on a temporary basis. Ryder grew its North American rental fleet to nearly 30,000 vehicles in 2010 and 2011 raising the percentage of model year 2010 or newer vehicles in the fleet to more than 40 percent.[8] Support services consist of insurance, vehicle permits, and fuel.
In April 2011 Ryder bought B.I.T. Leasing, from Hayward California.[9]. Also in 2011 it acquired the full service leasing and rental business of Carmenita Leasing, Inc., located in Santa Fe Springs, California[10], and the full service lease, contract maintenance, commercial rental and dedicated contract carriage business, The Scully Companies, Inc., based in Fontana, California.[11]
Supply chain [link]
Ryder' supply chain operations accounted for 26% of its revenue for a total of $ 1.6 billion. Profit of $ 42 million was 9% of the total. This business consists of management of a customer’s supply chain. Basically the customer owns the trucks and Ryder decides where they go, managing the warehouses and the drivers. Ryder managed over 15,000,000 square feet (1,393,546 m2) of warehouse space on December 31, 2008.[7]
In December 2010 Ryder bought TLC, a supply chain services company based in Holland, Michigan[12]
Dedicated Contract Carriage [link]
Ryder' Dedicated Contract Carriage accounted for 8% of its revenue for a total of $ 0.5 billion. Profit of $ 49 million was 10% of the total.[7] This arm of the business conducts both leasing and supply chain management.
Rental trucks [link]
Ryder launched a consumer truck-rental operation in 1968 with 1,000 trucks and vans. These were the yellow trucks known as "one-ways" and available for the public to rent from filling stations and other automotive-service locations. In June 1998, Ryder decided to focus on commercial truck rental and leasing, and exited the "one-way" business arena; which it sold to Budget Truck Rental.[13] The white Ryder trucks seen on highways today are available to the general public looking to move locally (returning the truck to the original pick-up location), businesses, and companies that have a contractual agreement with Ryder.
Headquarters [link]
Ryder's headquarters are located in an unincorporated area in northwest Miami-Dade County, Florida, near the Miami Dade-County, Broward County boundary line.[14][15]
Previously Ryder had its headquarters in Doral, Florida.[16] In 2002, after taking a year long study of 22 potential headquarters sites in South Florida, Ryder announced that it would move its headquarters to another location in northwest Miami-Dade County. The commute times of around 200 employees who reside in Broward County decreased. Before the announcement of the final headquarters site, Ryder considered some locations in Miramar in Broward County.[15] In 2005 Shoma Development Corp. began demolishing the former Ryder headquarters in Doral, replacing it with the Park Square at Doral development.[17]
Locations [link]
Headquartered in Miami, Ryder has satellite locations in 50 US States and also in Mexico, Canada, Singapore, China and the United Kingdom.[18]
Criticism [link]
In December 2011, the non-partisan organization Public Campaign criticized Ryder for spending $0.96 million on lobbying and not paying any taxes during 2008-2010, instead getting $46 million in tax rebates, despite making a profit of $627 million.[19]

Ryder (band)
Ryder was a purpose-made pop group led by Maynard Williams whose primary purpose was to represent the United Kingdom at the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest in Bergen, Norway. Ryder performed the song "Runner in the Night" which was placed 7th. They were criticised in the media for being a particularly weak and unsuitable entry. The song was the first UK Eurovision entry to fail to reach the top 75 since 1964, managing a peak of only #98.Runner In The Night was the only single released by the band, but Williams teamed up with the song's composers Maureen Darbyshire and Brian Wade to compose the theme song to the BBC drama series Truckers, in which he appeared. The single from the programme failed to chart.
Williams, the son of actor Bill Maynard, had previously reached the final 24 of the UK heat in 1985.

List of Marvel Comics characters: R
R. U. Reddy
R. U. Reddy (Winthrop Roan, Jr.) is a mutant and a member of the Thunderiders. He first appeared in Captain America #269 (May 1982), and was created by J. M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck. Winthrop Roan, Jr. was the singer in a rock band known as Ruff Stuff. With Honcho and Wolf, he formed the professional motorcyclist team called Team America, which was eventually known as the Thunderiders. R.U. Reddy is a mutant who shares a mental link with the four other members of the Thunderiders. The five mutants can project their collective physical skills, strength, and knowledge into another person without diminishing their own abilities in any way.
Radion the Atomic Man
Radion the Atomic Man first appeared in Marvel Two-in-One #9 (May 1975), and was created by Steve Gerber, Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe. Exposure to radioactive isotopes caused Dr. Henri Sorel to mutate into an inhuman being who could generate blasts of nuclear energy, and warped his personality. The Puppet Master agreed to assist Radion in exchange for his help. Radion amplified the radiation in the Puppet Master's clay, enabling him to use Thor to attack the Fantastic Four. When Wundarr the Aquarian arrived to help, he absorbed Radion's powers, causing Radion to flee. Sorel then constructed a suit of armor to contain his energies and protect himself from reaching critical mass. He renamed himself the Ravager and traveled to London. He is also known as the Atom.

The Rotary
by: XTCThanks to erich sellheim
I'm warning you
I'm warning you now
Look out people as it's the holy cow
It's the rotary
I told you 'bout the spinning top
And that's a dance you gotta drop
Because the rotary is in
The rotary, the rotary
The dance you've got to top is the brand-new spinning top
That's out, this is the rotary
The rotary
This is a thing that's definitely gonna make captain beefheart
And his magic band look bad
They thought they had it with the "blimp"
Well I'm talking to you about the rotary
People will be coming, will be twirling, twirling, twirling, twirling
The rotary
You can jump it, I can jump it
Everybody can jump it
Grab an armadillo, grab your husband, grab anybody
The rotary
The rotary, the rotary, oh, the rotary
It's the thing that's for me and you
Ooh, ooh, the rotary
I can see the precision
They're lining up, falling over
They're going crazy
They can't get enough of the rotary
Yes, siree
The rotary
Turning, turning, turning, turning...
You're burning, burning, burning...
With the rotary, ooh
Yes, siree
The rotary
I shouldn't want you to get this confused with any other dance craze
Because this is the one
Oh, the rotary
You'll be burning all your clothes
And you'll be burning all of your jewellery
You will be the rotary
It's nothing like anarchy
No, siree
It's, it's the rotary
The rotary, the rotary...
R.o.t.a.r.y.
Rotary, the rotary
You'll want to do it, do it with me
You'll want to do it, you can do it for free
The rotary
Go on terry, play the rotary
How do you think he got the second half of his name?
Terry is the last part of rotary
Drum it up, drum it up...
