About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver in Nashville, Tennessee. This is a local, home-daily driving position delivering auto parts to Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas. Drivers deliver solo in a day-cab tractor with an automatic transmission and a 53-foot dry van. Freight is no-touch, though strong backing skills are required. Ryder provides training on the equipment needed for the role. Drivers earn at least $1,355 per week, paid weekly, with a weekly guarantee of $1,355. The position also offers a $2,000 shutdown bonus within the first year and quarterly safety bonuses of $250. Paid training is provided. Schedules are Monday through Friday or Tuesday through Saturday, with an AM or PM start time based on route bid. Ryder provides well-maintained trucks that are 36 months old or newer, 24/7 roadside maintenance, and access to fueling at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations. Drivers are empowered to make safety decisions, and their jobs are protected when they do so. The company describes its driver role as autonomous on the road with support behind the scenes.
