Job description

Location: Hattiesburg, MS 39401
Home Time: Every weekend with a 34-hour reset
Pay: $2,000 to $2,100 per week
Freight: Dedicated stainless-steel flatbed freight with planned backhauls

• $5,000 sign-on bonus for qualified drivers
• Home every weekend with a 34-hour reset
• Dedicated stainless-steel flatbed operation
• Assigned newer-model Kenworth T680

Experienced CDL-A flatbed drivers can earn $2,000 to $2,100 per week hauling dedicated stainless-steel freight while returning home every weekend for a 34-hour reset. This account combines specialized steel hauling with assigned equipment, lightweight tarping, and backhaul planning designed to keep drivers productive throughout the week.

Dedicated Flatbed Operation

Primary outbound loads originate near Calvert, Alabama, and consist of stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets. Once the outbound delivery is complete, available backhaul freight is used to move drivers toward the next customer load rather than routinely sending trucks back empty.

• Most freight is live loaded and live unloaded
• Approximately 75% of loads require tarping
• Smaller and lighter six-foot drop tarps are used for this operation

Tarp compensation is included in the account's pay program.

Weekly Schedule & Compensation

• Home every weekend for a 34-hour reset
• Pay is $2,000 to $2,100 per week
• $5,000 sign-on bonus for qualified drivers

The combination of dedicated outbound freight and planned backhauls helps support productive miles without relying solely on return trips to the primary customer.

Truck & Trailer Setup

Each driver is assigned a newer-model Kenworth T680 and remains with the same trailer throughout the trip.

• 2025 Extreme 48-foot flatbed trailers
• 12 winches and straps
• Two lightweight six-foot drop tarps
• Assigned truck and trailer setup

Drivers should already be comfortable with proper load securement, tarping, and the handling requirements associated with steel freight.

Orientation

Orientation runs Monday through Thursday and pays $100 per day.

• Hotel accommodations provided
• Meals provided
• Travel arrangements provided

Drivers complete orientation before moving into their assigned equipment and beginning the dedicated operation.

Experience Requirements

• Valid CDL-A license
• At least one year of OTR experience within the previous five years
• Minimum six months of flatbed experience
• Steel-hauling experience required
• Current coil-hauling certification required
