Share Repurchase Programs [Abstract]
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS	SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS In December 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Under the December 2013 program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company’s various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans from December 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. The December 2013 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management established prearranged written plans for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2013 program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we repurchased and retired 143,051 shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $12.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we repurchased and retired 1,170,123 shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $92.3 million. We did not repurchase any shares under this program in 2013.
