Ryder System has its sights on a new long-term return-on-equity target in the low-20% range, up from its previously obtained goal in the high teens. Improved returns will be driven by high-single-digit revenue growth coupled with productivity gains. Ryder has plenty of runway for organic growth, given the outsourcing opportunities in the markets it serves. In this Talking Transports podcast, Robert Sanchez, Ryder System’s chairman and CEO, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to discuss some of the key takeaways from its recent investor day and how technology investments are optimizing transportation networks and providing better client interactions. Sanchez also talks about the company’s sustainability initiatives, autonomous trucking and some recent acquisitions. He shares how he got into transportation, Miami Hurricanes football and one of his favorite founding fathers.
