Position Overview

Join a flatbed account designed for experienced steel haulers who want consistent freight, strong weekly earnings, and dependable weekend home time. Drivers haul dedicated stainless-steel freight from a customer near Calvert, Alabama before moving available backhaul freight that helps position the truck for the next outbound load.

Equipment & Trailer

The Freight

Outbound loads include smaller stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets.

Freight is primarily live loaded and live unloaded, and tarp pay is included within the account's overall compensation program.

Backhaul freight helps reduce unnecessary empty miles while supporting productive weekly schedules.
