About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver based in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, for solo over-the-road driving covering multiple Ryder accounts along the East Coast and Texas. Routes, start times, and schedules vary. Drivers may operate sleeper tractors, day cabs, and 26-foot straight trucks, pulling dry van, Conestoga, or 48- and 53-foot flatbed trailers. Freight may require touch labor, and Ryder will train drivers on the equipment needed for the position. The job includes travel to Canada within 90 days of hire, requiring an enhanced license or passport. Pay is weekly and includes $28 per hour, $20 per hour for travel time, mileage reimbursement of $0.70, and $50 per night away from home. The posting states drivers work 50–60 hours per week and may earn $2,000 or more per week. Paid training is provided. Ryder describes its company-driver program as offering support during the transition from owner-operator work and throughout a driver's career. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accruing from the first day, with up to 80 hours accrued during the first year; uniforms, cell phone, and boot allowances; a 401(k) rollover option and company match after one year; 12 weeks of paid maternity leave subject to eligibility criteria; and employee discounts. Drivers are empowered to make safety decisions, and the posting says their jobs are protected when they do so.
