first year of prepaid preventive maintenance during GATS. Stop by
booth 16046. #TruckShow
During GATS, Ryder will offer all attendees – not just Ryder
pre-owned vehicle purchasers – special event pricing at 20 percent
off the first year of a prepaid preventive maintenance plan.
Attendees who visit the Ryder booth can also enter into a daily
raffle for a chance to win a prize pack that includes a gas grill,
Yeti cooler, and much more.
Ryder pre-owned vehicle purchasers now have the added benefit of
selecting from a variety of Ryder SelectCare Preventive Maintenance
packages that can range from one to three years. Customers now
receive greater flexibility by having the option to prepay for
their package or finance it along with their vehicle as one monthly
payment. By selecting preventive maintenance services, customers
will have access to Ryder’s network of 800 service facilities and
5,900 certified technicians at economical pricing for the full term
of the package. In addition, customers receive discounted pricing
for any necessary repairs, parts, and tires outside of the
preventive maintenance services.
During GATS, Ryder’s Manager of Finance & Vehicle Sales
Development, Jason Russell, will deliver the opening remarks during
the Partner in Business Seminars, which Ryder has sponsored for the
past six years. The free, one hour Partner in Business Seminars
take place each year during GATS and are conducted to assist fleet
managers, owner operators, and commercial transportation
professionals with improving their bottom line through reducing
costs, promoting efficiency, and making better business decisions.
Attendees will also receive a copy of the Partners in Business
manual that provides practical financial tips as well as tax and
equipment management strategies.
Ryder has the largest retail network of one-owner pre-owned
vehicles for sale in North America with 52 locations, selling more
than 18,000 vehicles a year. In addition, Ryder’s international
sales/export team helps customers purchase in the U.S. for export
to locations in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and Central
and South America, to get the vehicles they need to keep their
businesses in high gear. Ryder’s pre-owned vehicle inventory
includes commercial and heavy-duty trucks consisting of tractors,
trailers, straight trucks, panel and cube vans, refrigerated
trucks, stake trucks, and more.
Vehicles that are Ryder CertifiedTM have been owned and
maintained by solely Ryder for their entire operating life and come
with a 30-day warranty and a complete vehicle maintenance history
report. Ryder also offers Ryder VerifiedTM pre-owned commercial
vehicles where customers can build their fleet with a fully
Department of Transportation compliant vehicle at a cost that works
for them. With Ryder ReclassifiedTM, customers can search through
an inventory of “As-is,” damaged, and scrap vehicles for a
fixer-upper option, or to utilize the parts, allowing the
flexibility to fit their specific business needs.
