Ryder offers training on needed equipment, including manual pallet jacks. Trucks are described as well-maintained and 36 months old or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling available at more than 800 maintenance locations.

The posting lists a $1,550 weekly average, top earners at $1,900 per week, a $3,000 sign-on bonus, and a $3,500 loyalty bonus. Performance-based pay combines mileage and stops. Ryder provides benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accruing from the first day; uniforms and cell phone and boot allowances; access to a 401(k) rollover and company match after one year; paid maternity leave subject to eligibility criteria; and employee discounts.
