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.
