About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver for regional routes based in Newnan, Georgia. The driver delivers freight solo, including tires, rubber, and various commodities, using an assigned sleeper tractor and a 53-foot dry van. Freight is touch freight. Drivers are home for weekly resets and weekends, with start times that vary based on hours-of-service requirements. Drivers must have over-the-road and high-touch-freight experience and be able to fly to locations they will cover.

Pay is weekly, with an advertised average of $1,700 per week. Compensation includes $0.69 per solo mile (with 1,600 miles per week), $16.25 per solo stop (up to 30 stops per week), $52.79 per diem per night (four nights per week), and $0.15 per piece for touch freight (with 2,000 pieces per week). The role also offers a $3,000 sign-on bonus, a $1,000 annual tenure bonus, and paid training.

Ryder provides well-maintained trucks that are 36 months old or newer, 24/7 roadside maintenance, and fueling at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrued starting on day one, up to 80 hours in the first year; uniforms and cell phone and boot allowances; a 401(k) rollover option and company match after one year; 12 weeks of paid maternity leave subject to eligibility criteria; and employee discounts.
