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 OperationPrimary 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
