About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This is a local, solo-driving route within a 300-mile radius of the Mid-Atlantic, with drivers home daily. The schedule is Monday through Friday with an early-morning start. Drivers operate a day-cab tractor pulling a 53-foot flatbed trailer and transport lumber; freight work is load securement only. Ryder provides training on the equipment needed for the role.

The posting lists weekly pay of $1,300–$1,500, with solo mileage pay of $0.61 per mile for 1,700–1,800 miles per week and stop pay of $30 per stop for 5–10 stops per week. A quarterly safety bonus pays $500 four times a year. Ryder trucks are described as well-maintained and 36 months old or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling available at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations.

Drivers are responsible for safe and compliant driving, maintaining records and logs, and loading or unloading freight—or assisting with those tasks—if required by the customer. Ryder states that drivers are empowered to make safety decisions and that their jobs are protected when doing so.
