Nursing Jobs in Ohio

About Nursing Jobs in Ohio

Ohio is one of the most active Nursing hiring states in the country. With three of the busiest interstate freight corridors in the U.S. running through it (I-70, I-75, and I-80) and major distribution hubs in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, demand for qualified nurses stays high year-round. The 25 nursing jobs listed above are pulled from carriers actively hiring across the state — local, regional, OTR, dedicated, owner operator, and entry-level seats all included.

Where the work is

Columbus is Ohio's largest freight hub, anchored by the Rickenbacker Inland Port and the distribution clusters in Groveport, Obetz, and Etna. Cleveland adds steel, port freight, and intermodal. Cincinnati handles consumer goods, automotive parts, and the DHL Americas hub at CVG. Toledo is built around automotive and Great Lakes freight. Dayton draws from aerospace and defense. Akron leans on rubber, polymers, and tires. Together, those six cities cover most of the active Nursing hiring in the state.

Typical pay in Ohio

Pay varies by segment: local drivers earn $22–$32 per hour, regional and dedicated drivers earn $70,000–$95,000 per year, OTR drivers earn $75,000–$110,000, and owner operators regularly clear $120,000+ on dedicated freight. Endorsements (HazMat, Tanker, Doubles/Triples) add a meaningful pay premium in nearly every segment.

Types of nursing jobs available

• Local — home daily, often hourly with overtime.
• Regional — Ohio plus surrounding states with weekly home time.
• OTR — over-the-road, all 48 states, 2–3 weeks out.
• Dedicated — repeat lanes for a single shipper.
• Owner operator — lease-purchase and independent contractor programs.
• No experience / entry level — paid training and mentor programs.
• Team driving — premium freight and the highest mileage seats.

Hiring trends

Most Ohio carriers move quickly on qualified drivers — orientation within a week of a clean application is normal. Sign-on bonuses, referral bonuses, and quarterly safety bonuses are common; read the terms carefully so you understand the qualifying period.

Tips for drivers applying in Ohio

Apply to several carriers at once and let the offers compete. Keep your DAC, MVR, and medical card current. List every endorsement on your application. And if you're open to relocating between Ohio metros, mention it — many carriers will prioritize drivers who can fill seats in their lower-supply terminals.
