Poster Comment: Didn't Big Sis, aka DHS sec. Janet Napalatano say that the NY and DC were going to be attacked by small airplanes and car bombs in tunnels? I guess Peoria is going to be attacked with trucks. Check under your bed, there might be a terrorist hiding there!
Ryder will not be allowing their trucks to be rented on September 11, due to recent terrorist threats.
Ryder has canceled all truck rentals for the coming week due to credible but unconfirmed threats of terrorist attacks in the wake of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
A customer who did not want to be identified told the Journal Star that she had been informed by Ryder of the cancellation by phone call Friday. A Ryder representative told the Journal Star all local rentals for the weekend had been canceled, though that person declined to elaborate on the reason.
Further questions were referred to the head of rentals for the local arm of the company. That person did not immediately return a request for an interview.
The customer was told by a Ryder representative in Peoria that the president of the company had decided to stop all truck rentals this week in the wake of the threats of terrorist attacks on the East Coast.
U.S. officials said Thursday they were investigating a credible but unconfirmed threat of a car bomb that may be used to target bridges or tunnels in New York City or Washington, D.C.
Neither U-Haul or Budget Truck Rental have any plans at this time to discontinue rentals in the area over the weekend, according to Peoria-area representatives reached by phone Friday afternoon.
