About The Position

Ryder is hiring a Class A CDL Truck Driver in Columbus, Ohio. This solo driving position transports steel freight on a shuttle route from Columbus, Ohio, to Potterville, Michigan, with drivers home daily. The vehicle is a day-cab tractor with a 53-foot flatbed trailer; drivers may have automatic restrictions. Loads are secured with straps, and tarping is required in wet weather. Drivers earn $29.64 per hour, with overtime after 40 hours paid at $44.46 per hour, and are scheduled for 60 or more hours per week. The schedule is Sunday through Thursday, with a 3:00 p.m. start time and work hours listed as 3:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. Pay is weekly. The role offers a quarterly tenure bonus, a sign-on bonus paid in two installments, and paid training. Trucks are three years old or newer. Drivers service the route rather than the truck; Ryder-trained technicians provide 24/7 roadside maintenance, and service employees fuel trucks at Ryder maintenance facilities. Drivers are expected to follow safety requirements and applicable laws, maintain accurate records and logs, and load or unload freight—or assist with those tasks—if required by the customer.
