Job Description

Ruan is a highly respected transportation and logistics company with over 90 years of industry experience, known for prioritizing people and safety in all its operations. The company has built a strong reputation for delivering outstanding dedicated services, leveraging its expertise to support customer needs efficiently and reliably. Ruan specializes in providing tailored transportation solutions across the United States, with a focus on safety, innovation, and customer satisfaction. With a workforce that embraces diversity and a commitment to long-term partnerships, Ruan stands as a leader in the trucking and logistics industry.

This role is for Class A CDL dedicated flex drivers based in Huntsville, AL, to haul freight primarily for Target, one of Ruan’s dedicated customers. The position involves supporting not only Target's retail operations but also other company operations where needed, making this a dynamic role that provides flexibility and varied assignments. Drivers in this role will be required to engage in high travel, potentially being on the road for 2 to 3 weeks or longer during travel assignments. Ruan covers all accommodations for drivers while they are away from their home base, highlighting the company’s commitment to driver welfare and comfort.

Flex drivers will have the opportunity to operate late-model Day Cabs and Sleeper Cab trucks, ensuring they have reliable, updated equipment to perform their duties effectively. Working out of the Huntsville location when not on the road, drivers experience varied shift days and start times based on operational requirements, adding flexibility to the daily schedule.

The pay structure is highly competitive, offering $30 per hour with weekly pay and an annual earning potential averaging between $85,000 and $90,000. Drivers are guaranteed a minimum of 10 hours per day and receive a per diem—$50 for using a Sleeper Cab or $25 when staying in a hotel while on the road. When working locally in Huntsville, drivers receive local rates, ensuring fair compensation regardless of assignment.

Ruan is committed to the health and wellness of its employees, offering competitive, affordable benefits that support both the driver and their family. The company’s People First culture underscores its commitment to employee safety and satisfaction, making it a preferred employer in the logistics sector. Flex drivers in this role will contribute meaningfully to Ruan’s service excellence while enjoying strong support and resources throughout their employment.

This is a full-time employment opportunity for experienced CDL A drivers who meet the company’s strict safety and experience standards, including background checks on moving violations and accident history. Additionally, compliance with the Department of Transportation’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse regulations is mandatory, requiring all applicants to create a profile on the official FMCSA website before hiring.

Joining Ruan means becoming part of a company that values diversity, inclusiveness, and longevity. It stands out as an employer dedicated to professional growth and the ongoing success of its employees, drivers, and customers alike.
