Under the watchful eye of ten judges, each of the ten Top Tech
finalists went head-to-head in a series of rigorous hands-on skills
tests, rotating every 30 minutes across ten Ryder trucks at the
Huntington Place in downtown Detroit. The stations were developed
in partnership with numerous Ryder supplier partners and OEMs, and
were designed to reflect current industry challenges, from
preventive maintenance to collision avoidance system diagnostics.
These finalists initially outperformed 2,500 competitors and
advanced through several increasingly demanding regional qualifier
rounds of challenging written and hands-on tests to compete in the
2023 North American championship in Detroit.
“I am continually impressed by our technicians and their
commitment to ensuring vehicle diagnostics are performed
efficiently, and repairs are done right the first time, while
staying up to date on the latest innovations and technology in
commercial vehicles,” says Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez.
“Congratulations to Cody Morris for earning this year’s Top Tech
honor and heartfelt thank you for his commitment to Ryder and our
customers since 2011. Cody’s dedication to excellence is a shining
example of why customers trust Ryder to deliver high-quality,
reputable service, and vehicle uptime rooted in knowledge and
continuous education.”
Ryder’s Top Tech Competition showcases the caliber of technical
training needed to ensure quality service of Ryder’s more than
260,000 vehicles. Of Ryder’s 5,000 U.S.- and Canada-based
technicians, more than 2,500 applied to be measured on their
technical training qualifications, outstanding customer service
performance, and quality workmanship.
“Since the first-ever Top Tech Competition was held in 2002 with
just 212 Ryder technicians competing, it continues to be the most
anticipated celebration of the best technicians in the industry,”
says Bryce Kinsley, vice president of maintenance operations at
Ryder. “We are honored to be the chosen employer of these
technicians, whose unparalleled technical skills, workmanship, and
enthusiasm for continuous learning inspire future generations of
Ryder employees. Congratulations to Cody, the regional finalists,
and to all those who competed in this year’s competition.”
Ryder Top Tech finalists, Kyle Walton of Pennsylvania, and
Warren Smith of Ontario, Canada, placed second and third,
respectively. In addition to Cody Morris winning the grand prize,
each finalist received a $10,000 cash prize and enjoyed a week of
local activities and events around Detroit.
Each finalist, along with their guests, was treated to a week’s
worth of fun, entertainment, and dining in the heart of Motor City.
They embarked on tours of the city and visited numerous notable
locations, including a Detroit Daimler engine manufacturing
facility, the Henry Ford American Innovation Museum, and Greenfield
Village.
Highlights of the week-long event can be found on Ryder’s
Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages. For event photos, email
