OTR Dry Van Driver Jobs in Rhode Island — Now Hiring

TruckingJobsInUSA is actively hiring experienced Dry Van drivers for over-the-road (OTR) positions based in Rhode Island. We are a CDL driver recruiting agency placing qualified drivers with vetted, well-established carriers across the United States — and we have immediate openings for drivers domiciled in and around Providence, Rhode Island.

This is a full-time Dry Van driving position paying $52,500 - $74,500/year depending on experience, lane, and safety record. Home time: Out 2–3 weeks. We work with multiple client carriers, so once you apply our recruiters match you to the opening that best fits your home-time, pay, and equipment preferences — there is no cost to you, ever.

Pay context for Rhode Island: the statewide CDL-A average is $57,200, and the strongest-paying metros are Providence (about $60,400), Warwick (about $58,200), Cranston (about $57,800). Rhode Island runs above the national cost-of-living average (index 108), so the headline number buys less than it does in a cheaper state — adjusted for living costs it works out closer to $52,963. Wage trend is currently stable — Rhode Island's tiny size limits trucking opportunities, but its position between Boston and New York on I-95 and the Port of Providence create steady local and regional demand.

Speed limits for trucks in Rhode Island run 65 mph (same as cars), with 65 mph on rural interstates. Tolls: Truck-only tolls on I-95 at multiple gantries through the state. Approximately $8-10 per truck per gantry (challenged in court). E-ZPass accepted.

Fuel tax in Rhode Island is $0.37 per gallon diesel + federal, which matters if you are comparing per-mile offers across state lines. Inspection climate: Low to moderate. RI State Police has limited commercial vehicle enforcement capacity.

How it works: apply with the quick form below (under 60 seconds, no resume needed), one of our recruiters calls you to confirm your experience and what you're looking for, and we set up interviews with the carriers that match. You choose the offer that's right for you.

We require a minimum of 12 months of verifiable CDL-A driving experience for this role. If you have at least one year behind the wheel and a clean record, we want to talk to you.
