CDL-A Flatbed Steel Hauler
About The Position
Join a flatbed account designed for experienced steel haulers who want consistent freight, strong weekly earnings, and dependable weekend home time. Drivers haul dedicated stainless-steel freight from a customer near Calvert, Alabama before moving available backhaul freight that helps position the truck for the next outbound load. You'll operate an assigned newer-model Kenworth T680 paired with a 2025 Extreme 48-foot flatbed trailer equipped with 12 winches, straps, and two lightweight six-foot drop tarps. Drivers stay with the same trailer throughout each trip. Outbound loads include smaller stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets. Approximately 75% of loads require tarping using lightweight drop tarps that are easier to manage than traditional flatbed tarps. Freight is primarily live loaded and live unloaded, and tarp pay is included within the account's overall compensation program. Backhaul freight helps reduce unnecessary empty miles while supporting productive weekly schedules.
