Ryder System has purchased 1,044 of Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co.'s 4000D-X Composite dry vans, the largest single order to date. The order is the result of a full-service lease contract with CEVA Logistics.

Ryder, a commercial transportation, logistics and supply chain management solutions company, recently extended a full-service lease contract with CEVA Logistics.

It is also the largest lease account trailer order that Ryder has ever placed. Ryder’s Fleet Management Solutions provides full-service lease, rental and programmed maintenance of trucks, tractors, and trailers.
