Job description

Location: Mobile, AL 36618 | Freight: Dedicated stainless-steel flatbed

Pay: $2,000 to $2,100 per week | Home Time: Weekly 34-hour reset

Experience: 6+ months flatbed with steel-hauling experience

• Nationwide deliveries from the Calvert, Alabama area
• Loaded backhauls help move drivers toward Alabama
• Assigned newer-model Kenworth tractors

Dedicated Steel Account

Experienced CDL-A flatbed drivers handle specialized stainless-steel freight on an operation built around dedicated outbound loads and productive loaded returns. Freight originates near Calvert, Alabama, with deliveries moving throughout the United States before available backhauls route drivers toward Alabama for their next dedicated load.

Pay is $2,000 to $2,100 per week, with a weekly 34-hour reset and a $5,000 sign-on bonus for qualified drivers.

Outbound Loads & Return Freight

The primary customer ships smaller stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets on 48-foot flatbed trailers. Most freight is live loaded and live unloaded.

After an outbound delivery, available flatbed freight is used for the return movement rather than relying on an empty trip back toward the account.

• Backhauls may include lumber, insulation, or other flatbed commodities
• Approximately 75% of loads require tarping
• Lightweight six-foot drop tarps are supplied for the account
• Tarp compensation is included in the compensation program

Weekly Operating Schedule

Home time includes a 34-hour reset each week. The specific day depends on the driver's delivery location and the return freight available for the trip back toward Alabama.

Because the reset may occur during the week, Saturday or Sunday home time is not guaranteed.

Flatbed Equipment

Drivers operate assigned newer-model Kenworth tractors paired with 2025 Extreme 48-foot flatbed trailers. The equipment is configured for the steel freight handled on the account.

• 12 winches and straps
• Two lightweight six-foot drop tarps
• Account-specific securement equipment

Drivers remain with their assigned equipment while operating on the account.

Orientation Details

New drivers attend orientation Monday through Thursday and receive $100 per day in orientation pay. Hotel accommodations, meals, and travel arrangements are provided.

Required Flatbed Experience

This position requires previous flatbed and steel-hauling experience. Drivers must already be comfortable with tarping and proper load securement.

• Valid Class A CDL
• Minimum one year of OTR experience within the last five years
• Minimum six months of flatbed experience
• Steel-hauling experience required
• Tarping and load-securement experience required
• Coil-hauling certification required before hauling coil freight
• Acceptable driving record
