Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On September 14, 2005, Ryder Receivable Funding II, L.L.C. ("RRF LLC"), a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder System, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Trade Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Trade Receivables Agreement"), by and among RRF LLC, as Seller; the Company, as Collection Agent; The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., New York Branch ("BTM"), Dresdner Bank AG, New York Branch and Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., as agents for certain affiliated conduit and committed purchasers; BTM, as Agent; and various other parties. Under this program, the Company sells certain of its domestic trade accounts receivable to RRF LLC who in turn may sell, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to the conduit and/or committed purchasers. Under the terms of the program, RRF LLC and the Company have provided representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities that are customary for accounts receivable facilities of this type.

The Company entered into this program to provide additional liquidity to fund its operations, particularly when the cost of such sales is cost effective compared with other funding programs, notably the issuance of commercial paper. This program is similar to the Company's previous accounts receivable facility which expired in December 2004. The available proceeds that may be received by RRF LLC under the program are limited to $200 million. RRF LLC's costs under this program vary based on changes in the Company’s unsecured debt ratings and changes in interest rates. If no event occurs which would cause early termination, the program will expire on September 14, 2006, unless extended by the parties.
