Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES (RECOVERIES) | RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES (RECOVERIES) In the fourth quarters of 2015 and 2014, we approved plans to reduce our workforce in multiple locations as a result of cost containment actions, resulting in charges of $9 million and $2 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2015, we committed to a plan to divest our Ryder Canadian Retail Shippers Association Logistics (CRSAL) operations and shutdown our Ryder Container Terminals (RCT) business in Canada. In January 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell CRSAL to a third party for approximately $2 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2016. In connection with the decisions to sell CRSAL and shut-down RCT, we recognized charges in the fourth quarter of 2015 for employee termination costs of $3 million and asset impairment of $2 million to adjust assets held for sale, including goodwill and intangible assets, to fair value less costs to sell. The following table summarizes the activities within, and components of, restructuring liabilities for 2015, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):
