8d

About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL truck driver in Malakoff, Texas, to deliver freight solo within Texas. The route is home daily, with a Monday–Friday schedule, occasional overnight trips, and dispatch between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Drivers work 50 or more hours per week. Pay is weekly and averages $1,500 per week, with solo mileage pay of $0.665 per mile and solo stop pay of $21.79 per stop. Drivers may earn up to $2,200 in annual bonuses and additional bonuses after two years.

The position uses a day-cab tractor that must be driven manually and a flatbed trailer. Flatbed experience is required, but tarping is not. Freight consists of brick and building materials and requires touch freight and load securement using straps. The truck is equipped with a truck-mounted forklift. Ryder provides well-maintained trucks, 24/7 roadside maintenance, and fueling at more than 800 maintenance locations nationwide.

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage after 30 days; PTO accrual starting on the first day, with up to 80 hours accrued in the first year; uniforms, a cell phone, and a boot allowance; 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 are empowered to make safety decisions, and the position's job protection is described as supporting those decisions. Ryder also offers driver referral bonuses of up to $1,500 for each hired driver, with unlimited bonuses.
