Ryder System, Inc. opened a 10,000‑square‑foot full‑service commercial truck rental and maintenance facility at 28719 Old Highway 20 in Madison, Alabama, on April 16, 2026. The new plant sits near Exit 7 off I‑565 and is only seven miles from I‑65, positioning it to serve the fast‑growing industrial and logistics markets of the Southeast region.
The facility’s location in Huntsville—a city that has become a leading economic engine for automotive, aerospace, food distribution, and government operations—aligns with Ryder’s strategic focus on high‑growth markets. By consolidating rental, fleet, and maintenance services in one site, Ryder strengthens its ability to meet customer demand for reliable transportation while supporting its asset‑light business model.
Ryder has integrated its RyderGyde technology and a self‑service check‑in kiosk into the new plant, underscoring the company’s commitment to tech‑enabled fleet solutions that deliver speed, visibility, and reliability to customers.
The opening is expected to create new jobs for skilled technicians, rental agents, and customer‑service professionals, contributing to local economic growth.
"This expansion underscores Ryder's commitment to supporting customers in high-growth manufacturing and logistics markets. Huntsville's strong infrastructure and accelerating activity across automotive, aerospace, and government operations make it a natural fit for expanding our service footprint. Tech-enabled solutions at this site ensure customers have the speed, visibility, and reliability they expect," said Tom Havens, president of Fleet Management Solutions at Ryder.
