“At Ryder, we take pride in employing members of the veteran
community, which is rich with unique work experiences, skills, and
inherent leadership qualities that make veterans highly valued
recruits for a number of positions at Ryder,” says Robert Sanchez,
Chairman and CEO for Ryder. “It’s a true honor to be recognized as
a Best for Vets Employer by Military Times, but more than anything,
we are humbled by and proud of the veterans we hire—not only
because of their service to our country but also because they
provide tremendous value to Ryder and our customers. On behalf of
Ryder, I’d like to thank and salute all our veterans for their
service and sacrifice.”
In its 14th year, Military Times Best for Vets: Employers
rankings are based on the results of a voluntary survey that asks
companies about their policies, practices, and benefits for
veterans and their families. The survey captures the areas of
greatest importance to transitioning service members and veterans
when looking for an employer.
Ryder has long been committed to recruiting military veterans.
Since joining the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Hiring our Heroes
program in November 2011, the company has hired more than 14,000
veterans, including more than 350 soldiers who completed the Ryder
Pathway Home program. The Ryder Pathway Home program helps ease the
transition to civilian life for 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. Veterans interested in Ryder careers can visit Ryder
Veterans Jobs, where they can match their skills with open
positions at the company.
During the holiday season, Ryder is partnering with the Marine
Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. Ryder’s commercial rental
workforce of more than 1,000 employees across the United States are
encouraged to participate in the Toys for Tots Program. Ryder
rental employees led by former U.S. Marine and Ryder vice president
of rental product management, Evan Dexter, are proud to support the
program initiatives centered around delivering toys during the
holidays to over 281 million less fortunate children, as well as
year-round support to families experiencing challenges and
exceptional circumstances.
Ryder also offers military discounts to its customers with its
latest program around used commercial vehicles. The company offers
10% off the advertised price of a used vehicle to veterans, active
military, and reservists. Visit ryder.com/used-trucks for terms and
conditions and to learn more.
In 2015, Ryder launched its Veteran Buddy Program that pairs
Ryder employees who are military veterans with new veteran
employees. The program is designed to help ease the transition from
military to civilian life, which can be a major challenge for
recently separated veterans returning to the workforce. In 2016,
Ryder launched the free Ryder Diesel Technician Career Skills
Program in partnership with the U.S. Army. The program trains
current active duty military members for placement into a Ryder
technician position after military service.
