Location: Pensacola, FL 32501 | Pay: $2,000 to $2,100 per week

Home Time: Every weekend with a 34-hour reset | Experience: 6+ months flatbed required

Freight

Dedicated stainless-steel coils and sheets

Easier Flatbed Routes / Dependable Freight Flow

• Dedicated customer freight originating near Calvert, Alabama
• Home every weekend for a 34-hour reset
• Planned backhauls toward the next outbound load
• $5,000 sign-on bonus available to qualified drivers

A Consistent Flatbed Cycle

This position gives experienced steel haulers a defined freight cycle instead of relying entirely on changing open-deck freight. Drivers move dedicated stainless-steel loads outbound and then use available backhaul freight to stay productive while returning toward Alabama.

What Goes On The Trailer

Primary customer freight consists of smaller stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets. Approximately 75% of outbound loads require tarping. Freight is primarily live loaded and live unloaded.

Backhauls can include lumber, insulation, or other flatbed freight selected to support efficient movement toward the next dedicated load.

Flatbed Setup

Your assigned newer-model Kenworth T680 is paired with a 2025 Extreme 48-foot flatbed trailer that stays with you throughout the trip.

• 12 winches and straps for securement
• Two lightweight six-foot drop tarps
• Assigned tractor and trailer
• Equipment configured for steel freight

Drivers earn $2,000 to $2,100 per week. A $5,000 sign-on bonus is available to qualified drivers.

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