Established over 90 years ago, Ruan has built a reputation for prioritizing people and safety in all aspects of its operations. With a strong emphasis on fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment, Ruan has consistently advanced in the industry by maintaining up-to-date equipment and employing skilled professionals who are dedicated to excellence. Specializing in a variety of freight services, Ruan offers opportunities for drivers to engage in different hauling assignments, making it a versatile employer for those seeking a career in trucking and logistics.

This job opening is for a Class A CDL driver position based in Cedar Rapids, IA. The role involves hauling auto parts using dry van trailers for a dedicated customer, offering drivers the advantage of no-touch freight through a drop-and-hook arrangement. This means that drivers will not have to physically handle the cargo, significantly reducing physical strain and improving job safety. The position is designed for drivers who value consistency and home time, with a schedule that has them home daily from Sunday through Friday. The shift typically starts between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., averaging about 12 hours per night, but allowing ample time at home and weekends off.

The compensation package for this role is particularly competitive, with an activity-based pay system offering $0.58 per mile and an additional $20 per stop. On average, drivers can expect to earn approximately $85,000 annually and $1,600 weekly, paid on a weekly basis. This steady income, combined with a dependable schedule, makes the position attractive for those seeking financial stability. The company also provides top-notch support through an excellent dispatch team known for their responsiveness and problem-solving skills, ensuring that drivers receive help whenever needed on the road.

Ruan is deeply committed to the well-being and satisfaction of its employees, offering comprehensive benefits that include health, vision, dental, life, and disability insurance, as well as prescription drug coverage. Paid time off, earned vacation, holiday pay, and 401(k) matching programs are also part of the benefits package, reinforcing Ruan’s dedication to its workforce. The company’s culture is centered on safety, teamwork, and providing a positive work-life balance, making it an employer of choice in the trucking industry.

Drivers who have worked with Ruan commend the tight-knit team environment and the operational flexibility they experience. Testimonials highlight the company’s prioritization of safety and the provision of modern, well-maintained equipment that aligns with industry standards. Ruan’s adherence to regulatory compliance and its support for drivers navigating the Department of Transportation’s requirements further reflect its professionalism and dedication to safety.

Overall, this position is ideal for experienced CDL drivers who are looking for a stable, well-paying job with predictable hours and the benefit of being home daily. Candidates must meet specific qualification standards, including a minimum of 9 months of recent tractor-trailer driving experience and a clean driving record. Ruan encourages diversity and equal employment opportunities, inviting qualified individuals to join their team and benefit from a longstanding tradition of excellence and employee care.
