Ryder System Inc. opened a full-service maintenance facility in Norton, Mass., reflecting the strong growth the company is experiencing in the greater Boston area.
The facility offers customers access to Interstate 495, Route 24 and Route 95, servicing the greater Boston area, as well as Cape Cod and parts of central Massachusetts, according to the Miami-based carrier.
