Dedicated steel freight and consistent weekend scheduling give experienced CDL-A flatbed drivers a strong combination of $2,000 to $2,100 per week, specialized freight, and home time every weekend. Planned backhaul freight helps maintain productive weekly movement while assigned equipment provides drivers with a consistent truck and trailer setup.

Dedicated Flatbed Operation

Primary outbound loads originate near Calvert, Alabama, and include stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets. After completing the outbound delivery, available backhaul freight moves drivers toward the next customer load rather than routinely returning trucks 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

Dedicated outbound loads combined with planned backhauls help support productive miles and a consistent weekly schedule.

Truck & Trailer Setup

Drivers are assigned newer-model Kenworth T680 tractors and remain with the same trailer throughout each trip.

• 2025 Extreme 48-foot flatbed trailers
