About The Position

Rouse Trucking is hiring CDL-A Flatbed Drivers to transport building materials, pipe, coils, and similar freight across an established operating area, primarily east of I-35. Drivers earn $1,675 to $1,775 per week, with 70 cents per mile paid on loaded and empty miles and an additional $30 for every load. Approximately three out of five loads require tarping, and the load payment applies whether or not tarping is needed. Solo drivers are eligible for a $5,000 sign-on bonus. Drivers spend 7–14 days on the road before returning home for a 34–48-hour reset. Assigned equipment includes 2020–2025 Peterbilt 567 and 579 tractors, with automatic or manual transmission options, and 2024 48-foot spread-axle flatbed trailers. Trucks are governed at 70 MPH and receive regular maintenance. Drivers may take their assigned truck home when safe parking is available. Transition pay is available during the first few weeks as drivers become familiar with dispatch, scheduling, and the freight network. 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.
