I recently bought my first Ram express and wanted to know a little about the radio. When I start the truck, the radio is always on, even when I turn it off before turning the truck off. When I use my Bluetooth before turning the truck off it still starts up again with the radio stations on. Is this normal or has anyone had this problem ?

Yup normal. Does it on my 2015 SLT and I believe all models ! I hate that feature as I like the radio off most of the time. But may have to stay on because of Bluetooth ? I'll be following to see when the techie crew says :)
And WELCOME to the group ! COngrts on your new RAM

Well the newer versions that I have both, still do that. Start it up and the radio is on immediately

Can the dealership reprogram so that the radio doesn't come on at start-up?

Just turn the volumn down when you shut the truck off, if it bothers you on start-up.The radio does a lot more then just being a radio in the newer vehicles,and I don't think you can program it to be totally off
