About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This local, solo-driving position delivers auto parts in Kentucky and Tennessee, with drivers home daily. The tractor is a day cab and the trailer is a 53-foot dry van. Freight is no-touch, although strong backing skills are required. Drivers operate well-maintained, safe trucks that are 36 months or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling available at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations. The schedule is Monday through Friday or Tuesday through Saturday. Drivers must be flexible with AM and PM shifts; the posting states the PM shift applies for the first two years and lists 11 hours of daily drive time. Pay is weekly, at $1,255 or more per week. Additional compensation may include a $2,000 shutdown bonus in the first year, a $1,000 sign-on bonus at 30 days and another $1,000 at 90 days, and a $250 quarterly safety bonus if applicable. Ryder offers medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrual beginning on day one; uniforms and 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.
