	INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”) and variable interest entities (VIEs) required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications were immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.
	Prior year amounts related to intercompany profit allocations between Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) and Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications were immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.

	ACCOUNTING CHANGES
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting guidance on the balance sheet presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward exists. Under this guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward. This guidance became effective for us on January 1, 2014 and resulted in a reclassification of $38.8 million from other non-current liabilities to deferred income taxes in our December 31, 2013 balance sheet. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Other than the change in presentation within the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, this accounting guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	'
	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
	In 2009, we ceased SCS service operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and European markets. Accordingly, results of these operations, financial position and cash flows are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented either in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements or notes thereto.
	Summarized results of discontinued operations were as follows:
		Three months ended March 31,
		2014			2013
		(In thousands)
	Pre-tax loss from discontinued operations	$	(955	)	(901	)
	Income tax benefit	89			23
	Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(866	)	(878	)
	Results of discontinued operations in 2014 and 2013 reflected losses related to adverse legal developments and professional and administrative fees associated with our discontinued South American operations.
	The following is a summary of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations:
		March 31,			December 31,
		2014			2013
		(In thousands)
	Total assets, primarily deposits	$	3,541		3,627
	Total liabilities, primarily contingent accruals	$	4,477		4,501
	Although we discontinued our South American operations in 2009, we continue to be party to various federal, state and local legal proceedings involving labor matters, tort claims and tax assessments. We have established loss provisions for any matters where we believe a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	In Brazil, we were assessed $5.0 million (before and after tax) in prior years for various federal income taxes and social contribution taxes for the 1997 and 1998 tax years. We have successfully overturned these federal tax assessments in the lower courts; however, there is a reasonable possibility that these rulings could be reversed and we would be required to pay the assessments. We believe it is more likely than not that our position will ultimately be sustained if appealed and no amounts have been reserved for these matters. We are entitled to indemnification for a portion of any resulting liability on these federal tax claims which, if honored, would reduce the estimated loss.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS	'
	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
	Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of various share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plans principally include at-the-money stock options, nonvested stock and cash awards. Nonvested stock awards include grants of market-based, performance-based, and time-vested restricted stock rights. Under the terms of our Plans, dividends may be paid on our stock options and nonvested stock awards. We have historically paid dividends on nonvested stock awards but not on our stock option awards. Dividends on nonvested stock granted after 2011 are not paid unless the award vests. Upon vesting, the amount of the dividends paid is equal to the aggregate dividends declared on common shares during the period from the date of grant of the award until the date the shares underlying the award are delivered.
	The following table provides information on share-based compensation expense and income tax benefits recognized during the periods:
		Three months ended March 31,
		2014			2013
		(In thousands)
	Stock option and stock purchase plans	$	2,237		2,110
	Nonvested stock	2,621			2,499
	Share-based compensation expense	4,858			4,609
	Income tax benefit	(1,676		)	(1,687	)
	Share-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	3,182		2,922
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 405,000 and 377,000 stock options, respectively, were granted under the Plans. These awards generally vest evenly over a three year period beginning on the date of grant. The stock options have contractual terms of ten years. The fair value of each option award at the date of grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The weighted-average fair value per option granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $14.99 and $13.99, respectively.
	During each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 22,000 market-based restricted stock rights were granted under the Plans. The awards are segmented into three performance periods of one, two and three years. At the end of each performance period, 25%-125% of the award may be earned based on Ryder's total shareholder return (TSR) compared to the TSR of a custom peer group over the applicable performance period. If earned, employees will receive the grant of stock at the end of the relevant three year performance period provided they continue to be employed with Ryder, subject to Compensation Committee approval. The fair value of the market-based restricted stock rights was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. The fair value of the market-based awards was determined on the grant date and considers the likelihood of Ryder achieving the market-based condition. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The weighted-average fair value per market-based restricted stock right granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $61.07 and $53.32, respectively.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 42,000 and 45,000 performance-based restricted stock rights (PBRSRs), respectively, were awarded under the Plans. The awards are segmented into three one-year performance periods. For these awards, 25%-125% of the awards may be earned based on Ryder's one-year adjusted return on capital (ROC) measured against an annual ROC target. If earned, employees will receive the grant of stock three years after the grant date, provided they continue to be employed with Ryder, subject to Compensation Committee approval. For accounting purposes, these awards are not considered granted until the Compensation Committee approves the annual ROC target. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 30,000 and 15,000 PBRSRs, respectively, were considered granted for accounting purposes. The fair value of the PBRSRs is determined and fixed on the grant date based on Ryder's stock price on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based upon the probability that the performance target will be met. The weighted-average fair value per PBRSR granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $71.43 and $58.21, respectively.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately 87,000 and 127,000 time-vested restricted stock rights, respectively, were granted under the Plans. The time-vested restricted stock rights entitle the holder to shares of common stock when the awards generally vest at the end of the three-year period after the grant date. The fair value of the time-vested awards is determined and fixed on the date of grant based on Ryder’s stock price on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The weighted-average fair value per time-vested restricted stock right granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $71.40 and $58.00, respectively.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, employees who received market-based restricted stock rights also received market-based cash awards. The cash awards have the same vesting provisions as the market-based restricted stock rights. The cash awards are accounted for as liability awards under the share-based compensation accounting guidance as the awards are based upon the performance of our common stock and are settled in cash. As a result, the liability is adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the cash awards was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
	The following table is a summary of compensation expense recognized for market-based cash awards in addition to the share-based compensation expense reported in the previous table:
		Three months ended March 31,
		2014		2013
		(In thousands)
	Cash awards	$523		1,274
	Total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to all share-based compensation arrangements at March 31, 2014 was $34.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
EARNINGS PER SHARE	'
	EARNINGS PER SHARE
	We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our nonvested stock granted prior to 2012 and restricted stock units granted to our Board of Directors are considered participating securities since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividend cash payments prior to vesting. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
	The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations:
		Three months ended March 31,
		2014			2013
		(In thousands, except per share amounts)
	Earnings per share — Basic:

	-1	Revenue earning equipment, net includes vehicles acquired under capital leases of $53.9 million, less accumulated depreciation of $22.7 million, at March 31, 2014, and $54.2 million, less accumulated depreciation of $22.0 million, at December 31, 2013.
	At the end of 2013, we completed our annual review of residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment. Based on the results of our analysis, we adjusted the estimated residual values of certain classes of revenue earning equipment effective January 1, 2014. The change in estimated residual values and useful lives increased pre-tax earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 by approximately $6.3 million.
	We lease revenue earning equipment to customers for periods typically ranging from three to seven years for trucks and tractors and up to ten years for trailers. The majority of our leases are classified as operating leases. However, some of our revenue earning equipment leases are classified as direct financing leases and, to a lesser extent, sales-type leases. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases was $407.8 million and $400.1 million, respectively. Our direct financing lease customers operate in a wide variety of industries, and we have no significant customer concentrations in any one industry. We assess credit risk for all of our customers including those who lease equipment under direct financing leases upon signing of a full service lease contract. For those customers who are designated as high risk, we typically require deposits to be paid in advance in order to mitigate our credit risk. Additionally, our receivables are collateralized by the vehicle’s fair value, which further mitigates our credit risk.
	As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount of direct financing lease receivables which were past due was not significant, and there were no impaired receivables. Accordingly, we do not believe there is a material risk of default with respect to the direct financing lease receivables. The allowance for credit losses was $0.4 million and $0.5 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	INCOME TAXES
	Uncertain Tax Positions
	We are subject to tax audits in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and foreign countries. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. In the normal course of business, we are subject to challenges from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities regarding amounts of taxes due. These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions, or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. As part of our calculation of the provision for income taxes on earnings, we recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions that are at least more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such calculations require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of a tax audit. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates. We reevaluate uncertain tax positions each quarter based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, expiration of statutes of limitations, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Depending on the jurisdiction, such a change in recognition or measurement may result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period.
	The following is a summary of tax years that are no longer subject to examination:
	Federal — audits of our U.S. federal income tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2008.
	State — for the majority of states, tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2008.
	Foreign — we are no longer subject to foreign tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2006 in Canada, 2009 in Brazil, 2008 in Mexico and 2011 in the U.K., which are our major foreign tax jurisdictions. Refer to Note (C), “Discontinued Operations,” for further discussion on various assessments related to our former South American operations.
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) was $57.8 million and $56.8 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign tax positions may decrease by $2.7 million by March 31, 2015, if audits are completed or tax years close.
	Like-Kind Exchange Program
	We have a like-kind exchange program for certain of our U.S.-based revenue earning equipment. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form whereby tax gains on disposal of eligible vehicles are deferred. To qualify for like-kind exchange treatment, we exchange through a qualified intermediary eligible vehicles being disposed of with vehicles being acquired, allowing us to generally carryover the tax basis of the vehicles sold (“like-kind exchanges”). The program results in a material deferral of federal and state income taxes, and a decrease in cash taxes in periods when we are not in a net operating loss (NOL) position. As part of the program, the proceeds from the sale of eligible vehicles are restricted for the acquisition of replacement vehicles and other specified applications. These proceeds are classified as restricted cash, which is included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” if the restriction is expected to expire in the twelve months following the balance sheet date or within “Direct financing leases and other assets” if the restriction is expected to expire more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Due to the structure utilized to facilitate the like-kind exchanges, the qualified intermediary that holds the proceeds from the sales of eligible vehicles and the entity that holds the vehicles to be acquired under the program are required to be consolidated in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The total assets, primarily revenue earning equipment, and the total liabilities, primarily vehicle accounts payable, held by these consolidated entities are equal in value as these entities are solely structured to facilitate the like-kind exchanges. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, these consolidated entities had total assets, primarily revenue earning equipment, and total liabilities, primarily accounts payable of $249.2 million and $246.3 million, respectively.
	In the first quarter of 2013, once we had completed a restructuring of the administrative processes for purchasing and selling vehicles, we reinstated our like-kind exchange program. The reinstated program operates, and will provide cash tax benefits, in the same manner as it did prior to suspension once we are no longer in a NOL position. Our cash flow declined $19.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of the program's restricted cash. There were no other impacts to cash flow as a result of the program's reinstatement.
	Effective Tax Rate
	Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2014 was 34.5% compared with 34.7% in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 reflects a benefit from a tax law change in the state of New York partially offset by a higher proportionate amount of 2014 earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
	On March 31, 2014, the State of New York enacted changes to its tax system, which impacted net operating loss provisions and reduced the corporate income tax rate from 7.1% to 6.5%. The impact of these changes resulted in a non-cash benefit to deferred income taxes of $1.8 million.

	-1	We had unamortized original issue discounts of $8.4 million and $8.3 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	-2	The notional amount of executed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $500 million and $400 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	We maintain a $900 million global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lending institutions led by Bank of America N.A., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., BNP Paribas, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., Royal Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The global credit facility matures in October 2018. The global facility is used primarily to finance working capital but can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at March 31, 2014). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The agreement provides for annual facility fees which range from 8.0 basis points to 27.5 basis points and are based on Ryder’s long-term credit ratings. This annual facility fee is 12.5 basis points, which applies to the total facility size of $900 million. The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions and certain affirmative and negative covenants. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated net worth of less than or equal to 300%. Net worth, as defined in the credit facility, represents shareholders' equity excluding any accumulated other comprehensive income or loss associated with our pension and other postretirement plans. The ratio at March 31, 2014 was 188%. At March 31, 2014, $242.7 million was available under the credit facility.
	Our global revolving credit facility enables us to refinance short-term obligations on a long-term basis. Settlement of short-term commercial paper obligations not expected to require the use of working capital are classified as long-term as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we classified $640.9 million and $498.2 million, respectively, of short-term commercial paper as long-term debt.
	In February 2014, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in June 2019. The proceeds from the notes were used to pay down commercial paper and for general corporate purposes. If the notes are downgraded following, and as a result of, a change in control, the note holder can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
	We have a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn sells, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a receivables conduit or committed purchasers. The subsidiary is considered a VIE and is consolidated based on our control of the entity’s activities. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program are limited to $175 million. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on October 24, 2014. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the collateralized receivables. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no amounts were outstanding under the program. Sales of receivables under this program will be accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets.
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $308.9 million and $310.5 million, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

	The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the level of inputs used to measure fair value:
	Interest rate swaps — The derivatives are pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps based on the LIBOR rate and are designated as fair value hedges. Fair value was based on a model-driven income approach using the LIBOR rate at each interest payment date, which was observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swaps. Therefore, our interest rate swaps were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	Investments held in Rabbi Trusts — The investments primarily include mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Shares of mutual funds were valued based on quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of the shares and were therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

	-1	Represents the portion of all revenue earning equipment held for sale that is recorded at fair value, less costs to sell.
	-2	Total losses represent fair value adjustments for all vehicles held for sale throughout the period for which fair value was less than carrying value.
Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses to reflect changes in fair value are presented within “Other operating expenses” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (tractors, trucks and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. Fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. Therefore, our revenue earning equipment held for sale was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value of total debt (excluding capital lease obligations) at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $4.45 billion and $4.28 billion, respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. Since our publicly-traded debt is not actively traded, the fair value measurement was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For other debt, fair value was estimated based on a model-driven approach using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Therefore, the fair value measurement of our other debt was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Receivables, net” and “Accounts payable” approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

	SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
	In December 2013, 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 2013 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, 2013 through December 31, 2015. The December 2013 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management may establish prearranged written plans for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2013 program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we repurchased and retired 562,683 shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $40.4 million. We did not repurchase any shares under this program in 2013.
	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 was 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 limited 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.

	OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY
	Our primary measure of segment performance excludes certain items we do not believe are representative of the ongoing operations of the segment. We believe that excluding these items from our segment measure of performance allows for better comparison of results.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized a benefit of $1.9 million (before and after tax) from the recognition of the accumulated currency translation adjustment from a FMS foreign operation which has substantially liquidated its net assets. This benefit was recorded within “Miscellaneous income, net” in our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
SEGMENT REPORTING	'
	SEGMENT REPORTING
	Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We operate in two reportable business segments: (1) FMS, which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers, principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; and (2) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain management solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia. The SCS segment also provides dedicated services, which includes vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.
	Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as “Earnings Before Tax” (EBT) from continuing operations, includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes non-operating pension costs, restructuring and other charges, net and the items discussed in Note (P), “Other Items Impacting Comparability.” CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal, marketing and corporate communications. The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.
	Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS segment. Inter-segment revenue and EBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and SCS and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).
	The following tables set forth financial information for each of our business segments and provides a reconciliation between segment EBT and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

OTHER MATTERS	'
	OTHER MATTERS
	We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our continuing business operations including but not limited to those relating to commercial and employment claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g. vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters from continuing operations where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.
