Additional pay includes $0.50 per solo mile (based on 2,500 miles per week), $9.50 per solo stop (5–15 stops per week), $6.25 per drop and hook, a $2,000 shutdown bonus within the first year, and a quarterly safety bonus of $250. Ryder provides company-paid scale bypass and operates well-maintained trucks that are 36 months old or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling at more than 800 maintenance locations. The position includes medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrual beginning on Day 1, 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.
