Dedicated Flatbed Freight With Productive Backhaul Planning

This position is designed for CDL-A drivers who already know flatbed and steel hauling. Dedicated stainless-steel freight originates near Calvert, Alabama, with backhaul planning used after deliveries to keep freight moving rather than relying on unnecessary empty return miles.

Drivers haul smaller stainless-steel coils and flat stainless‑steel sheets on outbound loads. Most freight is live loaded and live unloaded. Approximately 75% of loads require tarping, and the account uses lightweight six‑foot drop tarps rather than larger traditional flatbed tarps.

Assigned Equipment

Newer-model Kenworth T680 tractors are paired with 2025 Extreme 48-foot flatbed trailers. Trailers are equipped with 12 winches, straps, and two six‑foot drop tarps. The same trailer stays with the driver throughout the trip.

Weekly Schedule & Compensation

Drivers are home every weekend for a 34‑hour reset. Weekly pay is $2,000 to $2,100, with tarp compensation included within the account's overall pay program. A $5,000 sign‑on bonus is available to qualified drivers.

Paid orientation is Monday through Thursday at $100 per day. Hotel accommodations, meals, and travel arrangements are provided.

Driver Qualifications

• Valid CDL-A license required
• Minimum one year OTR experience within the last five years
• Minimum six months flatbed experience required
• Steel‑hauling experience required
• Current coil‑hauling certification required
• Tarping and load‑securement experience required
• Acceptable driving record required
