Ryder describes the role as one where drivers make safety decisions and receive support during their careers. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrued starting on Day 1; uniforms and a boot allowance; a 401(k) rollover option and company match after one year; paid maternity leave subject to eligibility criteria; and employee discounts.
