Ryder System Snaps Up Truck Service Depot—A Masterstroke In Fleet Control?

Ryder System recently announced the acquisition of Truck Service Depot, a Georgia-based mobile maintenance business with two physical service centers in Atlanta and Savannah. This move comes at a time when Ryder is leaning heavily into strategic expansion, particularly in its asset-light, contractual service segments. The acquired business will be integrated under the Torque by Ryder banner throughout 2026, aiming to deliver uninterrupted services and boost the company’s mobile maintenance capabilities. With Ryder’s Q3 2025 earnings call outlining continued investment in technology, capital discipline, and a focus on resilient contractual revenue, this acquisition appears to be another cog in its long-term balanced growth strategy. Given Ryder’s focus on expanding its service offerings and enhancing its maintenance infrastructure, this acquisition could create operational synergies, improve customer retention, and reinforce its dominance in the fleet management space.
