Experts to Discuss Issues Affecting Private Fleets

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in commercial fleet management and supply chain management solutions, today announced that it is a sponsor of the 10th annual BevOps Fleet Summit, hosted by Beverage World magazine. The Summit, a learning and information sharing experience for warehousing, operations, and fleet management, will be held from April 21 – 24 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Ryder Director of Business Development for Advanced Fuels Rueben Stokes; Senior Director of Talent Acquisition Patrick Pendergast; and Senior Manager of Safety and Loss Prevention Andrew Leavitt will be conference presenters, speaking on the topics of alternative fuels, changes to CSA regulations, and truck driver shortages.

Mr. Stokes’ presentation “Alt Fuels Part I: Lessons Learned from CNG Conversion” will discuss how to plan and properly execute a fleet’s conversion to natural gas, from the selection of partners, fueling, maintenance, and specifications, to the timing, sequencing, and integration. Mr. Leavitt and Mr. Pendergast’s presentation “CSA Revisions & CDL Shortages: Making Sense of the Biggest Battles” will address the issues surrounding the new Hours of Service regulations, the looming driver shortage, and the plethora of related proposed laws and rule changes that could affect every private fleet. Ryder will also lead a roundtable discussion on the topic of Total Cost of Ownership, to sort through the true cost of owning versus leasing commercial truck fleets, as part of the summit’s Problem Solver Roundtable Luncheon.
