Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 10, 2005, our Compensation Committee approved the Ryder System, Inc. 2005 Management Incentive Compensation Plan, which is a performance-based plan in which our senior officers and other eligible employees participate. Annual bonuses awarded under the Plan are based on a percentage of the participants' base salary and depend primarily on how the company performs against pre-established targets for various performance metrics. The performance metrics applicable to our senior officers, including our CEO, are net operating revenue, return on capital and earnings per share. The Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, increase or decrease the bonus payout (not to exceed certain levels set forth in the Plan) based on individual performance. The Committee may not, however, increase the bonus payout amount for our senior officers.

A copy of the Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
