CDL-A Dedicated Flatbed Driver
About The Position
Specialized steel hauling and strong weekly compensation make this position a fit for experienced CDL-A flatbed drivers who are comfortable securing and tarping steel freight. The account pays $2,000 to $2,100 per week while providing home time every weekend for a 34-hour reset. Drivers operate assigned equipment and haul dedicated stainless-steel freight supported by available backhauls that help maintain productive freight movement throughout the week. Outbound loads begin near Calvert, Alabama, with drivers hauling smaller stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets. After delivery, available backhaul loads help move the truck toward the next outbound freight rather than routinely returning empty. Approximately 75% of loads require tarping. Freight is primarily live loaded and live unloaded. Tarp compensation is included in the account's compensation program. The six-foot drop tarps used on this account are lighter than traditional full-size flatbed tarps. Drivers receive an assigned newer-model Kenworth T680 paired with a 2025 Extreme 48-foot flatbed trailer. The driver remains with the same trailer throughout the trip. Each trailer comes equipped for the account's steel freight: 12 winches and straps, two lightweight six-foot drop tarps, and a 48-foot flatbed configuration. The schedule is designed around returning drivers home every weekend while maintaining steady freight movement during the week. Orientation takes place Monday through Thursday and pays $100 per day. Hotel accommodations are provided, along with meals and travel arrangements. After orientation, drivers move into their assigned equipment and begin running the dedicated operation.
