About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL regional truck driver based in Atlanta, Georgia. The driver makes solo deliveries on routes reaching up to 1,500 miles from Danville, Virginia, across the listed states. The position hauls packing adhesives in a dry van trailer (48 or 53 feet) using a sleeper tractor. Freight is no-touch.

The schedule runs Monday through Sunday, with resets at home, and a dispatch window between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. The position involves 50 or more hours per week.

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; 80 hours of PTO during the first year, starting on day one; uniforms, a cell phone, and a boot allowance; a 401(k) rollover and company match after one year; paid maternity leave subject to eligibility criteria; employee discounts; and unlimited referral bonuses for hired drivers. Drivers make safety decisions, and their jobs are protected when doing so.
