Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Explanatory Note: The Registrant filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 22, 2005 to report the decision of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Ryder System, Inc. to dismiss and replace the independent auditor for the Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). This amendment is being filed to update the information as of the date hereof.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Ryder System, Inc. solicited proposals from the four major accounting firms and conducted an extensive evaluation process in connection with the selection of the independent auditor for the Plan for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Following this process, on September 22, 2005, the Audit Committee dismissed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Plan’s independent auditor for the Plan’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 and appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as the Plan’s independent auditor for 2006. KPMG has completed its engagement as the Plan’s auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

KPMG’s audit reports on the Plan’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Plan’s two most recent fiscal years and from the period from January 1, 2006 to June 29, 2006, (i) there were no disagreements between the Plan and KPMG on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the Plan’s financial statements, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Plan has provided KPMG with a copy of the foregoing statements and has requested and received from KPMG a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not KPMG agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from KPMG is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

During the two most recent fiscal years and during the period from January 1, 2006 to June 29, 2006, neither the Plan nor anyone acting on behalf of the Plan, consulted PwC regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 3.04(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are currently principal accountants for Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan and, under the date of June 15, 2006, we reported on the financial statements of Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. On September 22, 2005, we were notified that Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its principal accountant for the year ending December 31, 2006 and that the auditor-client relationship with KPMG LLP would cease upon completion of the audit of Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, and the issuance of our reports thereon. On June 15, 2006, we completed our audit and the auditor-client relationship ceased. We have read Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan’s statements included under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K/A dated July 6, 2006, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan’s statements (i) that the Audit Committee solicited proposals from the four major accounting firms and conducted an extensive evaluation process in connection with the selection of the Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan ‘s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 and (ii) that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were not engaged regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Ryder System, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan’s financial statements.

Very truly yours,

/s/ KPMG LLP
