Ryder no longer exists as a retail truck rental operation (I think that
their OTR truck leasing arm "Ryder Logicstics" still exists but I didn't
bother to look it up).
Ryder sold their truck rental arm to Budget in 1996 along with a lease
on the trademarks, Budget operated the "Yellow Truck" business as "Ryder
TRS". In March of 2002 Ryder filed suit against Budget over the use of
the trademarks. In July of 2002 Budget filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection and in January of 2003 began pulling the Ryder name off its
trucks and phasing out the yellow boxes.*
In 1995 I wondered what would happen to Ryder and their heavily
advertized yellow trucks, now I know.

According to the Ryder web site, they only do business and local rentals any
more.

LOL! One of my fond memories happened driving through a blizzard in Wisconsin.
Me and my FWD plus a few 18-wheelers were the only ones still on the road.
Suddenly out of the driving snow emerged a U-Haul truck with a car in tow, the
driver white knuckled at the wheel and his passenger obviously terrified. Across
the side of the truck was painted "An adventure in moving". I'll bet it was an
adventure the poor couple never forget! I still hope they got wherever they were
going safely.
