“Throughout the industry, there is a shortage of qualified
technicians, which is why Ryder is continuing to make significant
investments in further developing skilled technicians,” says Bill
Dawson, senior vice president and chief of operations at Ryder.
“Our training programs are designed to cultivate essential skills
for technicians at various stages of their career – to support
their job and skills progression as the future of Ryder’s logistics
workforce.”
Technician Excellence Program
Ryder plans to expand its three existing Ryder Technician
Excellence Centers, located in Doraville, Ga., Philadelphia, Pa.,
and Houston, Texas, to include several new locations throughout
North America in the near future. Each center will offer a six-week
curriculum that delivers instructor-led classrooms and hands-on
training on topics such as preventive maintenance, tire and wheel
diagnostics and repair, battery and voltmeter basics, circuit
testing and fundamentals of air, and hydraulic brake systems. As
the industry grapples with retaining skilled technicians, the
learning course is designed to help prepare new and early career
technicians through an accelerated learning track.
High School Program
Ryder’s diesel maintenance technician training program updates
include the launch of the Ryder Accelerated Maintenance Program
(RAMP), which offers high school seniors an opportunity to obtain
hands-on experience by working part-time in a Ryder facility.
Through RAMP, student trainees are partnered with certified Ryder
diesel maintenance technicians, who serve as volunteer mentors by
providing coaching and performance feedback that aligns with a
school’s automotive or diesel program. Upon successful completion
of the program, students will have the option of exploring
full-time employment at a Ryder location.
Technician Trainee Program
Ryder’s Technician Trainee Program is an intensive
eighteen-month, blended-learning curriculum that begins with
training on how to engage with customers, conduct multi-point
vehicle inspections, and fuel vehicles.
Throughout the program, the technician trainee will complete
numerous training assignments, from one-on-one interactions with
employees in various operational roles to technical instructor-led
classes on foundational topics such as air conditioning, heavy-duty
electrical systems, and Ryder’s preventive maintenance.
“Our technician trainee program takes a holistic approach in the
overall training and development of new Ryder technicians,” adds
Bryce Kinsley, vice president of maintenance operations at Ryder.
“We not only focus on the technical skills necessary to be a
professional technician, but we also ensure the trainee’s
performance meets our standards on safety, quality, and providing a
positive customer experience.”
Military Veterans
As part of Ryder’s training initiatives, the company also works
to leverage and strengthen the unique work experiences,
transferrable skills, and inherent leadership qualities of military
personnel. Since 2016, Ryder’s Pathway Home program has been easing
the transition to civilian life for hundreds of U.S. soldiers
through a twelve-week diesel maintenance technician training
course, as well as offering employment opportunities as a Ryder
technician upon completion of the training.
From 2011 through 2023, Ryder hired more than 14,000 veterans,
including more than 350 soldiers who completed the Pathway Home
program.
