About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver in Alachua, Florida. This is a regional solo driving position delivering to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Drivers are typically out for two to three nights per week and drive sleeper tractors hauling 53-foot dry vans. Freight is no-touch. The schedule is Sunday–Friday or Monday–Saturday.

Compensation includes an average of $1,500–$1,800 per week and average annual W-2 earnings of $78,000 or more. Pay is performance-based and includes miles, stops, stop pay, hazmat pay, and opportunities for hourly pay when assisting other accounts. A hazmat endorsement can be obtained within 90 days, with the cost reimbursed.

Ryder provides well-maintained, safe trucks that are 36 months old or newer, 24/7 roadside maintenance, and fueling at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations. Drivers receive medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days, PTO accrual beginning on the first day, uniforms, and cell phone and boot allowances. The company also offers a 401(k) rollover and company match after one year, paid maternity leave subject to eligibility criteria, employee discounts, and driver referral bonuses.

Drivers are responsible for safe, compliant operation and may make safety decisions. Ryder describes this as a company-driver role and offers support during the transition for owner-operators whose trucks are purchased by Ryder.
