Job Description

Ryder is a leading commercial transportation, logistics, and supply chain management solutions company with over 80 years of experience in the industry. Renowned for its commitment to customer satisfaction and employee welfare, Ryder supports a wide array of transportation needs across North America. The company prides itself on delivering efficient, reliable, and innovative logistics solutions while fostering a work environment that values its employees and promotes safety and growth.

Ryder is currently hiring local CDL-A Flatbed Truck Drivers in Oshkosh, WI, offering a unique opportunity for drivers seeking home time daily with both AM and PM shift options. This position is ideal for professional drivers who are experienced, safety-conscious, and looking to join a company that rewards loyalty and performance with competitive pay and comprehensive benefits. Drivers at Ryder operate modern equipment, including day cabs and flatbed trailers ranging from 48 to 53 feet, mainly delivering steel and metal freight or handling load securement tasks such as strapping and tarping in adverse weather conditions.

The role offers an attractive compensation package with an average weekly pay of $1,595 on the PM shift and $1,500 on the AM shift. Both shifts come with a weekly minimum guarantee, hourly pay rates, and overtime opportunities exceeding 50 hours per week. Ryder incentivizes its drivers with a $2,000 sign-on bonus, distributed as $1,000 at 30 days and $1,000 at 90 days, and a $2,000 loyalty bonus paid at 6 months and 1 year. Additional tenure bonuses of $1,200 per year are paid quarterly. Drivers get paid weekly and enjoy routes that enable them to return home daily, enhancing work-life balance.

The position includes flexible scheduling options; PM shift drivers work Monday through Friday with a 5:00 PM start time primarily making solo shuttle trips from Oshkosh, WI, to Bolingbrook, IL. AM shift drivers start at 6:00 AM and deliver to Northeast Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Both shifts utilize day cab tractors and flatbed trailers with freight that requires careful load securement. The company also provides drivers with allowances for uniforms, cell phones, and boots, emphasizing respect and support for their professional needs.

Additional benefits make Ryder an attractive employer: medical, dental, and vision insurance after 30 days of employment; 80 hours of paid time off in the first year (starting from day one) which can be used or paid out; 401(k) rollover options with company matching after one year; paid maternity leave; employee discounts on tools, vehicles, travel, technology, and more. Ryder focuses on safety and support by providing paid training, employing trucks that are 36 months or newer with 24/7 roadside maintenance, and maintaining a vast network of over 800 maintenance facilities nationwide.

To qualify, candidates must have a valid Class A CDL, a minimum of nine months driving experience in the last three years, be at least 21 years old, and successfully pass multiple checks including drug, background, motor vehicle, DOT physical, and a Ryder road test.
