CDL-A Flatbed Driver
About The Position
Rouse Trucking is hiring experienced flatbed drivers to transport pipe, coils, building materials, and similar freight. Drivers primarily operate east of I-35 on established freight lanes, with organized dispatch planning and regional scheduling. Both loaded and empty miles are paid. Tarping is required on approximately three out of five loads, and load securement is part of the regular work. Drivers receive an additional $30 on every load, whether or not tarping is required. Drivers earn 70 cents per mile and typically earn $1,700 to $1,800 per week. Solo drivers are eligible for a $5,000 sign-on bonus. Drivers are home every 7–14 days for a 34–48-hour reset. Transition pay is provided during the first few weeks while drivers become familiar with routes, scheduling, and dispatch operations. Drivers are assigned 2020–2025 Peterbilt 567 or 579 tractors, with automatic and manual transmission options, and 2024 48-foot spread-axle flatbed trailers. Trucks are governed at 70 MPH. Drivers may take their assigned truck home if they have a safe place to park it. Regular maintenance is intended to support dependable operation and reduce downtime. One pet is allowed, with no breed or weight restrictions; cats are also permitted. Drivers may bring one passenger with the required liability form, provided the passenger is at least 10 years old. Health insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, and vacation time are available.
