Transportation Jobs in Florida

Transportation hiring in Florida: the current picture

There are 600 transportation openings in Florida. Employers added at least 120 new transportation postings in Florida in the past week — an unusually active market, with a fifth or more of all listings arriving in the last seven days.

Hiring is concentrated: Ryder alone accounts for roughly 15% of open roles, with Domino's Pizza and Lowes next in line. Orlando has the deepest pool (51 openings), followed by Tampa (45) and Opa-locka (40). Of postings that specify a schedule, 57% are full-time, 37% part-time. Fully remote transportation roles are essentially absent from this market — this is primarily in-person work.

Posted pay in Florida runs below the national mix for transportation work: 1% of salaried postings here advertise $100K or more, versus 6% nationwide. The median posted salary is about $35,000 here, compared with roughly $45,000 across all states.

For context beyond current listings: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the average annual wage for transportation and material moving occupations in Florida at $47,000 (median $40,000) as of May 2025. Posted salaries on new openings here currently run below that benchmark — entry-level and high-turnover roles tend to dominate fresh postings. Source: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
