About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL Truck Driver in Austin, Texas. This local driving role delivers auto-parts freight to surrounding areas and provides daily home time. Drivers operate solo in a day cab with 48-foot or 53-foot dry van trailers. The freight is no-touch, and drivers must be able to drive manual transmissions. Ryder provides training on the equipment needed for the role and uses well-maintained trucks that are 36 months old or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling available at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations.

The schedule is Monday through Thursday with an AM dispatch start. Drivers work 40 or more hours per week and are paid weekly at $27 per hour; the posting states earnings of $1,080 or more per week. A sign-on bonus pays $750 after 30 days and $750 after 90 days. Paid training is provided.

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrual beginning on the first day, with up to 80 hours accrued in 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 states that their jobs are protected when they do so.
