Ryder System Inc. Strengthens Mobile Maintenance Offering Through Acquisition of Truck Service Depot

Truck Service Depot is known for its skilled workforce, boasting more than 20 technicians and two operational sites, including a comprehensive maintenance facility in Atlanta and a service center in Savannah. Ryder plans to integrate Truck Service Depot's employees, assets, and operations into its existing infrastructure throughout 2026, ensuring a smooth transition and uninterrupted service for customers.

Tom Havens, president of Fleet Management Solutions at Ryder, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “With Truck Service Depot’s strong presence in Georgia and complementary mobile maintenance services in a growth market for Ryder, we are enhancing our ability to further offer flexible, rapid maintenance solutions to fleets across this growing freight corridor.”

Fulton County, where Truck Service Depot operates, is recognized by Georgia as a key area for logistics investment, driven by increasing demand for transportation and fleet services. The region's multimodal infrastructure, which includes the world’s busiest airport, major interstate corridors, and comprehensive freight rail access, positions it as a vital hub for commercial fleets operating in the Southeast.

With the addition of Truck Service Depot, Ryder is better equipped to support customers navigating this dynamic freight corridor, further aligning with the company's broader Southeast expansion strategy.

This acquisition is not an isolated incident; it complements Ryder’s ongoing efforts to enhance its presence in the Southeast. Recent investments have included new truck rental and maintenance facilities in McDonough, GA, and Lebanon, TN. The strategic positioning of Truck Service Depot strengthens Ryder's footprint in one of the nation’s most active freight hubs, allowing them to deliver tech-enabled fleet solutions to a growing customer base.

Torque by Ryder™ services will now be available across 27 states, providing comprehensive maintenance support for a diverse range of vehicles, including commercial trucks, trailers, delivery vans, and emergency response vehicles.

Scott Marshall, the founder and CEO of Truck Service Depot, will play a pivotal role in guiding the transition process. He emphasized his confidence in Ryder as the ideal partner for continuing the legacy of high-quality mobile maintenance services, noting the company's commitment to innovation, customer service, and employee growth.

“I chose Ryder to continue the legacy of best-in-class mobile maintenance services because of their commitment to innovation, customer service, and employee growth,” Marshall stated.

The acquisition of Truck Service Depot marks a significant milestone for Ryder System, Inc., as it seeks to expand its mobile maintenance offerings in a high-growth market. With the integration of Truck Service Depot's operations, Ryder is poised to enhance its service delivery and strengthen its competitive position in the Southeast logistics landscape. This strategic move not only underscores Ryder's commitment to growth but also highlights its focus on providing exceptional service to a diverse customer base across a rapidly evolving transportation environment.
