Truck Driver CDL A Home Daily
About The Position
Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver in Liberty, Missouri, for a local, home-daily route. Drivers deliver solo to Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The schedule is Monday through Friday, with start times between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Drivers use a day cab and haul freight on 48-foot flatbed and Conestoga trailers. Flatbed experience is not required; Ryder provides training. Freight securement involves strapping and chaining, with minimal tarping. Some route nights out are paid per diem, with hotels booked by Ryder. The advertised average pay is $1,500 per week, with potential to earn more than $1,700. Pay includes $0.63 per solo mile, $16.06 per solo stop, and $51.25 per night out; drivers are paid weekly. Paid training is provided. Ryder describes its trucks as well-maintained, safe, and 36 months old or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations. The company offers medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrual starting on day one; uniforms, cell phone, and boot allowances; a 401(k) rollover option and company match after one year; eligible paid maternity leave; employee discounts; and driver referral bonuses. Drivers are empowered to make safety decisions, with job protection for those decisions.
