Share Repurchase Programs [Abstract] |
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS | SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS In December 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans (the program). Under the program, management is authorized to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock, the sum of which will not exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company’s employee stock plans from December 31, 2017 to December 13, 2019. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management may establish prearranged written plans for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. As of December 31, 2017, we have not repurchased any shares under the 2017 program. During 2017, 2016 and 2015, we repurchased 1.1 million, 0.5 million and 0.1 million shares under previous share repurchase programs for $78 million, $37 million and $6 million, respectively.
