“Ryder is proud to employ so many members of the veteran
community and to recognize the disciplined, quality professionals
whose skill sets match well with many roles in our company,” says
Robert Sanchez, chairman and CEO for Ryder. “Veterans possess
distinct skills learned through military service, including
integrity and the ability to follow through on commitments, which
are vital to delivering on our promises to customers. Ryder is
honored to be recognized by VETS Indexes, but more importantly, we
are proud of the veterans who work at Ryder and extend our deepest
gratitude to all veterans for their service, sacrifice, and
dedication.”
“The diligent efforts of Ryder to hire, retain, and support
veterans and the military-connected community have earned the
organization a highly coveted VETS Indexes Employer Award,” says
George Altman, president of VETS Indexes. “Competition for the VETS
Indexes Employer Awards was tougher than ever in 2024, as a record
number of organizations participated. Even with hundreds of
employers in the running, Ryder demonstrated a strong dedication to
veteran employment. Congratulations to Ryder on this
achievement.”
This year, 344 organizations submitted surveys for the VETS
Indexes Employer Awards, an increase of more than 100 from last
year and nearly triple the number from two years ago. Only those
