About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver based in Kennesaw, Georgia. This solo, over-the-road role delivers interstate freight using a sleeper tractor and a 53-foot dry van.

The schedule runs Sunday through Friday, with start times between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m.; drivers are home weekly. Pay is performance-based, using mileage and stops, and includes stop pay and per diem. The posting lists an average weekly pay of $1,999 and average annual W-2 earnings of $113,754, as well as a sign-on bonus and paid training. Drivers operate well-maintained trucks, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling available at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations. Ryder describes the role as offering autonomy on the road and support behind the scenes, including support for company drivers transitioning from owner-operator trucks. Drivers make safety decisions, and the posting states that their jobs are protected.
