Share Repurchase Programs [Abstract]  
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In December 2011, 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 2011 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, 2011 through December 13, 2013. The December 2011 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. In 2013, we temporarily paused our anti-dilutive share repurchase program to appropriately manage our leverage and to allow us to maintain near-term balance sheet flexibility. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we repurchased and retired 223,200 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of $11.9 million.
