Nursing Jobs in Cleveland, Ohio — What Drivers Should Know

Cleveland is one of Ohio's most active Nursing hiring markets, and the openings listed above reflect steady, year-round demand from carriers across the region. Below is a practical look at what healthcare work in Cleveland looks like, the kind of pay drivers can expect, and a few tips for landing the role you want.

Overview of the Cleveland freight market

The local economy is shaped largely by steel, manufacturing, port freight, and intermodal. Cleveland's Lake Erie port and the rail yards in Collinwood and Mittal Steel keep heavy-haul, flatbed, and container drivers busy year-round.. That mix means consistent freight volume across dry van, reefer, flatbed, and tanker segments, and it keeps both small fleets and the largest national carriers actively recruiting. Most Cleveland-based healthcare jobs run on I-90, I-77, I-480, and I-71 — perfect for regional runs into Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, and Canada., so drivers rarely deadhead long distances to find their next load.

Typical pay in Cleveland

Cleveland nurses typically earn $25–$33 per hour for local work, with regional flatbed and tanker drivers reaching $90,000–$110,000 per year. Pay varies with experience, endorsements (HazMat, Tanker, and Doubles/Triples all command a premium), and how much night, weekend, or touch-freight work the role includes. Owner operators leased to dedicated accounts in Cleveland often clear six figures.

Types of nursing jobs you'll see in Cleveland

ArcelorMittal, Cleveland-Cliffs, Sherwin-Williams Distribution, Sysco Cleveland, Heinen's, Marc Glassman, Ryder, Penske Logistics, R+L Carriers, and several Great Lakes tanker fleets.

Tips for drivers applying in Cleveland

Winter driving experience is a real asset here — carriers frequently prioritize drivers with documented lake-effect snow miles. Make sure your DAC report and MVR are clean, keep your medical card current, and respond quickly to recruiter calls — most Cleveland carriers move fast on qualified drivers.
