About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver based in Ontario, California, for regional routes. Drivers deliver freight solo to California, Utah, and Nevada, and sometimes New Mexico and Washington. The role uses a day cab and may involve a 24-foot straight truck or 28-foot pup trailers. Freight is pet food and involves heavy touch. Equipment includes carts, hand trucks, and lift gates; Ryder provides training on the required equipment. The schedule is Monday through Friday, with dispatch between 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Drivers work 40 or more hours per week and spend 2–5 nights out per week, staying in Ryder-booked hotels. Pay is $30 per hour, with a stated minimum of $1,300 per week, plus $40 per night per diem. Loyalty bonuses are $2,500 after six months and $2,500 after one year.

Ryder provides well-maintained trucks that are 36 months old or newer, 24/7 roadside maintenance, and fueling at more than 800 nationwide maintenance locations. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrual beginning on Day 1; 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. Drivers make safety decisions, and their jobs are protected. The position cannot accommodate an auto restriction.
