Located at 3919 88th Street NE, in Marysville, Ryder says the location is the company’s second new facility opening in the United States in the past month, as it aims to serve additional customers and provide more offerings across the United States. The grand opening event in May featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, along with tours of the facility.
“Seattle is currently the second-largest metropolitan area in the United States for growth, and Marysville is a growing city in Washington, so it was a natural fit for our next facility location,” says Dennis Cooke, president, fleet management solutions, Ryder. “As Ryder looks to better serve our new and existing ChoiceLease and commercial rental customers, we wanted to ensure we had a premier shop in an optimal location and this new facility fits both those needs.”
As the state’s largest and northern-most Ryder maintenance facility, and just three miles from the newly opened Paine Field Airport, Ryder says the Marysville location offers nearly 16,000 sq.-ft., including nine work stations, a 1,000-unit capacity, several new conference rooms equipped with enhanced technology for both internal and customer meetings, and two 24/7 mobile maintenance units.
Ryder Mobile Maintenance allows local fleets to schedule maintenance outside of the traditional 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. window. And when customer vehicles are idle, Ryder says mobile maintenance offers a seamless, real-time experience that eases the challenge of tight delivery windows and hours-of-service regulations fleet drivers face.
Finally, the company says the new site includes an exterior covered truck wash bay and features a full-service rental counter for businesses in need of a commercial vehicle. The facility also will soon offer a diesel fuel service island for Ryder customers, the company says.
