During the conference, Ryder oil and gas experts will discuss several
topics that are affecting the industry today. The Company will host a
roundtable discussion titled “Understanding True Cost of Ownership for
Oil & Gas Fleets", on September 25 where Ryder Director of Financial
Consulting for National Accounts, Kirk Morton, will discuss methods and
tactics for analyzing the total cost of owning a commercial oil and gas
fleet to help businesses evaluate their current mode of financing and
fleet maintenance.
Ryder Senior Director of Engineering for Oil & Gas, William Taylor, and
Ryder Senior Manager of Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental,
Randy Tomlinson, will also hold a presentation titled “Drilling Down
into Oil & Gas Safety” about new approaches to oil and gas safety
practices in transportation. “Ryder’s roundtable discussion and
presentation will serve as a platform for the Company to share its
industry expertise to help create a connection between the logistics
function, fleet operators, and well site operations, with the aim to
identify strategies to extend lead times, improve planning in the
upstream delivery process, and evaluate safety standards,” said Steve
Martin, Vice President of Operations and General Manager, Oil & Gas, for
Ryder. “With operational know-how and engineering analysis, Ryder can
help oil and gas companies operate more efficiently, save money, and
