CDL-A Flatbed Driver
About The Position
Rouse Trucking is hiring experienced CDL-A flatbed drivers to haul building materials, pipe, coils, and similar loads on established freight lanes primarily east of I-35. The role offers steady freight and dispatch consistency, with weekly pay of $1,675 to $1,775 based on 70 CPM for loaded and empty miles, plus $30 additional pay on every load. A $5,000 sign-on bonus is available for solo drivers. Tarping is required on approximately three out of five loads, and load pay applies whether or not tarping is needed. Drivers are out for 7–14 days and then home for a 34–48 hour reset. Transition pay is available during the first few weeks while drivers become familiar with the freight network, dispatch, and scheduling. Drivers may take their assigned truck home when safe parking is available. Each driver receives assigned equipment for flatbed operations: a 2020–2025 Peterbilt 567 or 579 tractor, with automatic and manual transmission options, and a 2024 48-foot spread-axle flatbed trailer. Trucks are governed at 70 MPH. Regular maintenance is provided to keep equipment dependable and ready for scheduled freight. Drivers may bring one pet, including cats, with no breed or weight restrictions. One passenger age 10 or older is permitted with the required liability form. Health insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, and vacation time are available. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
