About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver based in Waterbury, Connecticut. The position pays $30.00 per hour, with weekly pay of $1,650 or more, and typically offers 40–50 hours per week. Paid training is provided. The schedule is Monday through Friday with no weekends, and dispatch starts between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM.

The driver delivers solo to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Maryland, on a home-daily/regional mix while floating between locations. Equipment includes a day-cab tractor and 48- or 53-foot flatbed trailers. Freight consists of metals, with load securement only. At least three months of flatbed experience is required, and Ryder provides training on the equipment needed for the job. Trucks are described as well-maintained and safe, 36 months old or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations.

Ryder describes its company-driver role as offering autonomy on the road with support during the transition from owner-operator trucks and throughout the driver's career. Drivers are expected to make safety decisions, and the job posting states that their jobs are protected when they do so.
