Ryder accelerates expansion in Southeast

Ryder System is expanding its presence in the Southeast with the opening of a new 20,000-sq.-ft. full-service commercial truck rental and maintenance facility in McDonough, Georgia.

Strategically positioned near Interstate 75 and major distribution hubs, at 105 Constitution Dr., the facility advances Ryder’s port-to-door logistics service model with rental, maintenance, and fleet solutions, the company reported. The new location follows Ryder’s recent Nashville-area expansion, reinforcing its broader strategy to meet rising demand across high-growth regions. With five full drive-through maintenance bays, the facility will also feature RyderGyde integration for real-time fleet visibility and shop status updates.

“This expansion reflects Ryder’s investment in high-growth regions where evolving logistics needs demand flexible and tech-enabled solutions,” Tom Havens, Ryder president of fleet management solutions, said in a news release. “McDonough’s proximity to Atlanta, strong infrastructure, and thriving industrial base make it an ideal location for extending our service footprint.”

McDonough, located in Henry County—one of Georgia’s fastest-growing logistics and manufacturing hubs—is rapidly emerging as a key inland port destination. Its strategic position along I-75 connects businesses to Atlanta’s metro market and beyond. New infrastructure enables containers to be offloaded directly onto trucks, streamlining freight movement and easing highway congestion.

This growth complements the Port of Savannah’s record-setting expansion, now recognized as the fastest-growing port on the U.S. East Coast. According to the Georgia Center of Innovation, Georgia’s logistics sector employs more than 250,000 people and generates over $83 billion in annual economic impact. McDonough’s industrial parks and distribution centers continue to attract investment, fueling demand for fleet management and transportation services.

The new Ryder facility is expected to create employment opportunities in the region, including roles for skilled technicians and customer service professionals, Ryder added. Individuals interested in joining Ryder’s growing team can explore current openings at ryder.com/careers.
