Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND FEES, NET | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND FEES, NET In the fourth quarters of 2017, 2016 and 2015, we approved plans to reduce our workforce in multiple locations as a result of cost containment actions, resulting in charges of $13 million, $5 million and $9 million in each of the respective years. 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. We recognized charges 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. We sold CRSAL to a third party for approximately $2 million during 2016. The following table summarizes the activities within, and components of, restructuring liabilities for 2017, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
