About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL Truck Driver in Meridian, Mississippi. This is a local, home-daily, solo driving role delivering auto parts to Huntsville/Madison, Alabama, or Minden, Louisiana. Freight is no-touch. Drivers operate a day-cab tractor with a 53-foot dry van and swing door. Ryder provides training on the equipment needed for the job and maintains trucks that are 36 months old or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations. The schedule is Monday through Friday or Tuesday through Saturday, with an AM or PM start time based on route bid. Drivers are paid weekly, with a weekly guarantee of $1,275. Additional advertised compensation includes a $2,000 shutdown bonus within the first year, quarterly safety bonuses of $250, and a $1,000 sign-on bonus at 30 days and another $1,000 at 90 days. Paid training is provided. The role includes medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrual beginning on the first day; a boot allowance; a 401(k) rollover option and company match after one year; 12 weeks of paid maternity leave subject to eligibility criteria; and employee discounts.
