Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in commercial fleet management, dedicated transportation, and supply chain solutions, recently announced the opening of a state-of-the-art maintenance facility 37 miles from Seattle in Marysville, WA. The facility, located at 3919 88th Street NE, Marysville, WA 98270, is the second new facility opening in the United States in the past month, as it aims to serve additional customers and provide more offerings across the United States.

Dennis Cooke, Ryder President of Fleet Management Solutions, said, “Seattle is currently the second-largest metropolitan area in the United States for growth, and Marysville is a growing city in Washington, so it was a natural fit for our next facility location. As Ryder looks to better serve our new and existing ChoiceLease and commercial rental customers, we wanted to ensure we had a premier shop in an optimal location and this new facility fits both those needs.”
As the state’s largest and northern-most Ryder maintenance facility, and just three miles from the newly opened Paine Field Airport, the Marysville location offers nearly 16,000 square-feet including nine work stations, a 1,000-unit capacity, and two 24/7 mobile maintenance units. Ryder Mobile Maintenance allows local fleets to schedule maintenance outside of the traditional 8 AM to 5 PM window. When their vehicles are idle, mobile maintenance offers a seamless, real-time experience that eases the challenge of tight delivery windows and hours-of-service regulations fleet drivers face.
The new site includes an exterior covered truck wash bay and features a full-service rental counter for businesses in need of a commercial vehicle. In addition, the new location features several new conference rooms equipped with enhanced technology for both internal and customer meetings. The facility will also soon offer a diesel fuel service island for Ryder customers.
