Ryder System (R) said Wednesday that it has launched a new drop-and-hook trailer service for its freight brokerage business.

The new offering allows customers to rent one or more trailers to preload on their own schedules and then schedule for carrier pickup as needed.

Customers can also keep the trailers onsite for additional storage when required. The majority of the 48- and 53-foot dry and refrigerated trailers have digital tracking available, the company said.
