INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Participants and Administrator
Ryder System, Inc. Employee Savings Plan B:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Ryder System, Inc. Employee Savings Plan B as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of December
31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes and Schedule of Reportable Transactions are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Ryder System, Inc. Employee Savings Plan B
(the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer
to the Plan document for a more comprehensive description of the Plan's
provisions.
GENERAL. The Plan, established January 1, 1993, is a defined contribution
plan and, as such, is subject to some, but not all, of the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). It is
excluded from coverage under Title IV of ERISA, which generally provides
for guaranty and insurance of retirement benefits; and it is not subject to
the funding requirements of Title I of ERISA. The Plan is, however, subject
to those provisions of Title I and II of ERISA which, among other things,
require that each participant be furnished with an annual financial report
and a comprehensive description of the participant's rights under the Plan,
set minimum standards of responsibility applicable to fiduciaries of the
Plan, and establish minimum standards for participation and vesting.
The Plan Administrator is the Ryder System, Inc. Retirement Committee.
Effective July 1, 1997, Fidelity Management Trust Co. became the Plan's
trustee and recordkeeper. Prior to July 1, 1997, State Street Bank & Trust
Company was the Plan's trustee and recordkeeper.
ELIGIBILITY. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Effective October 1,
1998, any salaried employee of Ryder System, Inc. (the "Company") or any
Ryder Integrated Logistics field hourly employee is immediately eligible to
participate in the Plan. Prior to October 1, 1998, to participate in the
Plan, an employee of the Company or of Ryder Integrated Logistics had to
meet certain eligibility requirements related to employment date, age and
service hours. In general, salaried employees of the Company and
participating affiliates, as well as, field hourly employees of Ryder
Integrated Logistics are eligible to participate in the Plan. However, an
employee who is in a unit of employees represented by a collective
bargaining agent is excluded from participation in the Plan unless the unit
has negotiated coverage under the Plan. In addition, employees eligible to
participate under another Company sponsored qualified savings plan, will be
excluded from participation in the Plan.
CONTRIBUTIONS. Participants may elect to contribute to the Plan by having
their compensation reduced by a minimum of 1% of compensation up to a
maximum of the lesser of a) 10% or 15% of compensation, depending on an
individual's annual salary level, b) $10,000 ($9,500 prior to January 1,
1998), or c) such other amount as shall be determined by the Plan
Administrator from time to time. Participants can also elect a direct
rollover of an existing balance from a tax-qualified retirement or savings
plan into the Plan.
If a participant meets certain requirements related to employment date,
age, and service hours, the Company will contribute to the participant's
account. Beginning January 1, 1998, the Company contributions are
automatically allocated to the Ryder System, Inc. Common Stock Fund and
will remain there until the participant terminates employment or reaches
age 55, whichever comes first. Prior to January 1, 1998, the Company
contributions were allocated based on the participants' investment
elections.
5
<PAGE>
Beginning January 1, 1998, for salaried employees, the Company matches 50%
of the employee's annual contribution not to exceed the greater of (1) 50%
of the first $1,200 in contributions for any plan year, or, (2) 50% of the
first 4% (6% if the Company meets its EVA goal) of the employee's
compensation for any plan year. In 1998, the Company did not meet its EVA
goal; therefore, the Company did not make an additional match. Beginning
January 1, 1999, the Company has revised the additional EVA match component
so that participants will receive a pro-rata portion of the EVA match based
on the portion of the EVA goal attained. Prior to January 1, 1998, the
Company match for salaried employees was 50% of employees annual
contribution not to exceed the greater of (1) 50% of the first $1,200 in
contributions for any plan year or (2) 50% of the first 3% of the
employee's compensation for any plan year.
Once a Ryder Integrated Logistics field hourly employee meets certain
requirements related to employment date, age, and service hours, the
Company will make a basic contribution of $400, whether or not the employee
contributes to the Plan. If the employee contributes to the Plan, the
Company will match the first $300 at 100% and match the next $800 at 50%
(100% if the Company meets its EVA goal). In 1998, the Company did not meet
its EVA goal; therefore, the Company did not make an additional match.
Beginning January 1, 1999, the Company has revised the additional EVA match
component so that participants will receive a pro-rata portion of the EVA
match based on the portion of the EVA goal attained. Prior to January 1,
1998, the additional match based on the Company meeting its EVA goal was
not a component of the Company contribution for Ryder Integrated Logistics
field hourly employees.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS. Each participant's account is credited with the
participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's
contribution and, (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of
administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or
account balances, as defined. Earnings are currently allocated on a daily
basis. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
can be provided from the participant's vested account. Forfeited balances
of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future
Company contributions. In 1998, employer contributions were reduced by
$147,518 from forfeited nonvested accounts. At December 31, 1998, forfeited
nonvested accounts available to reduce future employee contributions
totalled $502,985.
VESTING. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus
earnings thereon. Upon completion of two years of service, participants
vest 25% in the Company contributions and the earnings attributable to such
contributions and 25% upon completion of each year thereafter until they
are fully vested. At retirement age, a participant becomes fully vested in
the Company contributions and the earnings attributable to such
contributions.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS. Participants may elect to contribute to any of thirteen
investment options. Participants may transfer among funds on a daily basis.
Note 4 provides a description of each investment option and a summary of
net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available
for plan benefits for each investment fund of the Plan as of and for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.
PARTICIPANT LOANS. Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a
minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of
their account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to
(from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Loans fund. Loan terms
range from 1-5 years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary
residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's
account and accrue interest at a rate, which is comparable to those of most
major lending institutions. Interest rates vary depending on the current
prime interest rate. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll
deductions. All principal and interest payments are allocated to the Plan's
investment funds based on the participant's investment elections at the
time of payment. Loans which are granted and repaid in compliance with the
Plan provisions will not be considered distributions to the participant for
tax purposes.
6
<PAGE>
DISTRIBUTIONS. On termination of service, if a participant's account
balance is greater than $5,000 ($3,500 prior to January 1, 1998), a
participant's account is distributed to the participant in the form of a
single lump-sum payment upon receipt of participant's consent. Terminated
participants whose account balance is less than $5,000 ($3,500 prior to
January 1, 1998) receive automatic distributions. As of December 31, 1998
and 1997, amounts allocated to accounts of terminated persons who have not
yet been paid totaled $1,191,535 and $888,782, respectively. A participant
may request a withdrawal of all or a portion of his elective contribution
account balance if he can demonstrate financial hardship. The Plan's
recordkeeper approves the request, based on the direction of the Plan
Administrator, and the amount withdrawn cannot be subsequently repaid to
the Plan. Such amounts will be considered distributions to the participant
for income tax purposes.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting.
USE OF ESTIMATES. The Plan Administrator has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENTS. Short-term money market instruments are stated at cost which
approximates fair value. Investments in fully benefit-responsive insurance
company and bank guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) are stated at
contract value, which represents cost plus accrued interest. Investments in
synthetic GICs (investments for which the Plan owns certain fixed income
securities and the contract issuer provider a "wrapper" contract that
guarantees a fixed rate of return and provides benefit responsiveness) are
also stated at contract value, which is equal to the fair value of the
underlying collateral plus the benefit responsive wrap value. Mutual funds
are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of
the securities held in such funds. The Company common stock is valued at
its quoted market price. Participant loans receivable are stated at fair
value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. The
Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
investments which consists of the related gains or losses and the
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Dividends on
Company common stock and mutual funds are recorded on the record date.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS. Benefits are recognized when paid.
RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with current year presentation.
3. INVESTMENTS
The Plan held the following individual investments whose aggregate fair
value equaled or exceeded 5% of the Plan's net assets at December 31, 1998

5. TRANSFERS TO OTHER PLANS
The Company also sponsors the Ryder System, Inc. Employee Savings Plan A
for non-salaried employees. Account balances of non-salaried employees in
Plan A, who are subsequently promoted to a salaried position, are, in turn,
transferred to the Plan. Transfers to the Plan for 1998 and 1997 amounted
to $475,779 and $2,138,084, respectively.
Due to the sale of the Company's automotive carrier and consumer truck
rental businesses, as well as the out-sourcing of various information
technology functions, plan assets of $7,234,602 and $21,631,872 were
transferred from the Plan to other plans in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Plan holds shares of Ryder System, Inc. common stock and recorded
dividend income, net realized gains on sale and net unrealized appreciation
in value of these securities.
Certain Plan investments are/were shares of mutual funds managed by
Fidelity Management Company or State Street Bank. These fund managers
are/were affiliated with the Plan's current/former trustee and, therefore,
these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.
7. PLAN TERMINATION
While it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company may amend or
terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of termination, Plan assets
are payable to each participant in a lump sum equal to the balance in the
participant's account.
8. TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN
The Plan qualifies as a profit sharing plan under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") and also qualifies
as a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code and,
therefore, is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the
Code. A favorable tax determination letter obtained was dated August 26,
1996.
Under a plan qualified pursuant to Sections 401(a) and (k) of the Code,
participants generally will not be taxed on contributions or matching
contributions, or earnings thereon, until such amounts are distributed to
participants or their beneficiaries under the Plan. The tax-deferred
contributions and matching contributions are deductible by the Company for
tax purposes when those contributions are made, subject to certain
limitations set forth in Section 404 of the Code.
Participants or their beneficiaries will be taxed, at ordinary income tax
rates, on the amount they receive as a distribution from the Plan, at the
time they receive the distribution. However, if the participant or
beneficiary receives a lump sum payment of the balance under the Plan in a
single taxable year, and the distribution is made by reason of death,
disability or termination of employment of the participant, or after the
participant has attained age 59 1/2, then certain special tax rules may be
applicable.
9. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Administrative expenses are paid by the participants. At its discretion,
the Company may elect to pay some administrative and marketing expenses.

5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment

11. YEAR 2000 PREPAREDNESS (UNAUDITED)
The Year 2000 issue is the result of information systems, including
computer systems and software products, using two digits rather than four
to indicate the applicable year. The operations and records of the Plan are
dependent on the information systems of the Company, Plan
trustee/recordkeeper, and various other service providers, which are
outside the Plan administrator's scope of control such as financial
institutions and government functions. Therefore, the Plan could be
adversely affected if these information systems do not properly process
date-related information from and after January 1, 2000. Both the Company
and Plan trustee/recordkeeper have indicated that they are: (1) currently
in the remediation and testing phases of their Year 2000 readiness plans
with testing expected to continue until late 1999, and (2) developing and
refining contingency plans for their respective information systems and
processes. The Plan administrator will continue to monitor their progress
and can make no assurances that the Plan will not be materially impacted by
potential Year 2000 failure. In addition, the Plan administrator cannot
reasonably predict the possible exposure and impact of Year 2000 failure on
the Plan resulting from other service providers, which are outside the
scope of its control.
