CDL-A Dedicated Flatbed Driver
About The Position
Dedicated steel freight and consistent weekend scheduling give experienced CDL-A flatbed drivers a strong combination of $2,000 to $2,100 per week, specialized freight, and home time every weekend. Planned backhaul freight helps maintain productive weekly movement while assigned equipment provides drivers with a consistent truck and trailer setup. Primary outbound loads originate near Calvert, Alabama, and include stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets. After completing the outbound delivery, available backhaul freight moves drivers toward the next customer load rather than routinely returning trucks empty. Most freight is live loaded and live unloaded. Approximately 75% of loads require tarping. Smaller and lighter six-foot drop tarps are used for this operation. Tarp compensation is included in the account's pay program. Dedicated outbound loads combined with planned backhauls help support productive miles and a consistent weekly schedule. Drivers are assigned newer-model Kenworth T680 tractors and remain with the same trailer throughout each trip. Orientation is held Monday through Thursday and pays $100 per day. Hotel accommodations, meals, and travel arrangements are provided. Drivers complete orientation before moving into their assigned equipment and beginning the dedicated operation.
