Job Description

Koch Trucking, a family-owned and driver-focused transportation company established in 1978, has earned a reputation as a leader in the transportation and distribution industry through its commitment to respect, excellence, safety, and innovation. The company specializes in a diverse array of services including Dedicated, Regional, Flatbed, Marine, and Specialized transportation which offer flexibility to its drivers and cater directly to customers' specific shipping requirements. As part of Koch Companies, a larger network that encompasses truckload freight hauling, logistics, warehousing, and truck/trailer leasing, Koch Trucking benefits from a well-rounded infrastructure that supports both its operational excellence and employee satisfaction.

Koch Trucking continually fosters a positive work culture that prioritizes the well-being and success of its employees alongside customer satisfaction. This culture, combined with industry-recognized achievements such as being named a 2025 Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation by the Women in Trucking Association and a Top 200 Workplace by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, highlights the company’s dedication to creating an inclusive and rewarding work environment. The company’s drivers enjoy many modern amenities including relatively new trucks (average age 16 months) with driver-friendly features and supportive policies such as pet and rider allowances, making driving not just a job but a career with quality of life.

The role of the CDL-A Flatbed Company Driver at Koch Trucking is an excellent opportunity for experienced professional truck drivers looking to join an established and respected flatbed division. Drivers in this role are offered consistent and steady mileage with routes that allow them to become familiar with their customers, promoting a sense of stability and community within their work. Starting pay ranges from 61 to 63 cents per mile based on experience, with average annual earnings around $85,000 and top performers earning up to $95,000 annually. In addition, there's a generous $6,000 hiring bonus, reflecting Koch Trucking’s dedication to attracting and retaining top talent.

The company provides excellent home time policies, with drivers typically out for 14 to 21 days based on their location, helping maintain a healthy work-life balance. Benefits include a robust PTO package accruing from day one and three floating holidays each year, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance plans, as well as a 401k with company match to help employees save for their future.

Additional incentives include over-dimensional pay, stop pay, tarp pay, bonuses for loaded border crossings to Canada, referral bonuses, and an all-expenses-paid orientation held in comfortable luxury hotels. Drivers also benefit from state-of-the-art Volvo 860 and Freightliner Cascadia trucks equipped with refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtain wraps, double bunks, built-in inverters, and other amenities designed for comfort and convenience during long hauls. Drivers receive weekly pay, a free iPad with data plan for keeping connected to friends and family, and have access to driver lounges offering essentials and snacks.

If you hold a valid CDL-A license and have a minimum of one year of experience hauling flatbed, step deck, or Conestoga trailers, this role could be an ideal fit. Koch Trucking values experienced drivers but also welcomes candidates with less experience who have a strong commitment to quality and safety. Join Koch Trucking’s flatbed division to experience competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and a company culture that truly values its drivers. Apply today and become part of a respected transportation leader that has proudly served this industry for over four decades.
