The now 15-year old Ryder Top Technician Recognition Program, designed to identify, recognize, and reward Ryder’s top performing truck maintenance technicians, held its annual competition at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center outside of Washington, D.C., last week. Eight finalists competed at the Washington D.C. event, which consisted of 10 hands-on skill tests that included vehicle electronics, preventive maintenance, and air conditioning – with a $50,000 winning purse and other prizes on the line.
