The Ryder trade name has been identified as having an indefinite useful life. Customer relationship intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally 7-19 years. We recorded amortization expense associated with finite lived intangible assets of approximately $7 million in 2014 and $8 million in both 2013 and 2012. The future amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years related to all intangible assets that are currently recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets is estimated to range from $6 - $7 million per year for 2015 - 2019.
