There are 492 transportation openings in Ohio. Employers added at least 105 new transportation postings in Ohio 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 Carter Lumber and Allied Universal next in line. Columbus has the deepest pool (65 openings), followed by Cincinnati (40) and Cleveland (26). Of postings that specify a schedule, 74% are full-time, 22% part-time. 1 listings are remote-eligible — a small slice (about 1%) of the market.

Posted pay in Ohio roughly mirrors the national picture — 10% of salaried postings advertise $100K or more, versus 6% nationwide. The median posted salary is about $45,000 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 Ohio at $47,000 (median $43,000) as of May 2025. Posted salaries on new openings here are broadly in line with that benchmark. Source: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
