About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The driver delivers retail goods solo on local routes to New York City’s five boroughs and returns home daily. The position uses a day cab and 28- to 42-foot pup trailers, with freight handling that involves touch freight. A manual pallet jack and lift gate are among the equipment used; Ryder provides training on the equipment needed for the role.

Drivers are paid weekly at $28 per hour and are expected to work 50 or more hours per week. Dispatch is between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.; the schedule varies. Ryder says drivers on this account earn $1,540 or more weekly. Trucks are described as well-maintained, safe, and 36 months old or newer, with 24/7 roadside maintenance and fueling available at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations.

The role requires compliance with applicable laws and regulations, attention to safety, accurate recordkeeping, and loading or unloading freight—or assisting with those tasks when required by the customer. Ryder provides paid training and benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days, PTO accrual starting on the first day, a boot allowance, a 401(k) rollover option with company match after one year, eligible paid maternity leave, and employee discounts. The position is open to qualified applicants without regard to protected characteristics, and Ryder is a drug-free workplace.
