About The Position

Ryder is hiring a solo regional Class A CDL truck driver based in Montross, Virginia. The driver delivers to West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and surrounding states. The position uses a sleeper tractor and hauls 53-foot flatbed and 50-foot wedge trailers. Freight is a mix of light-touch and no-touch; light-touch work includes using basic hand tools to put wheels and tongues on trailers, which the customer rolls off.

Pay is weekly. Solo mileage pay is $0.70 per mile, with 1,300–1,750 or more miles per week; stop pay is $30–$65 per stop, with 5–8 stops per week; and layover pay is $65 per night, with 1–4 layovers per week. The posting advertises earnings of $1,750 or more per week, with top earners making $2,000 or more per week. Paid training is provided. The schedule is Monday through Friday, with some Sunday dispatches for Monday delivery. Start time varies, usually for morning deliveries. The position offers medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrual starting on day one; uniforms, cell phone and boot allowances; a 401(k) rollover option and company match after one year; paid maternity leave subject to eligibility criteria; employee discounts; and a driver referral bonus. Drivers make safety decisions, and the posting states that their jobs are protected.
