Job Description

Koch Trucking is a reputable, family-owned transportation company that has been operating since 1978. With a strong commitment to respect, excellence, safety, and innovation, Koch Trucking has grown into a full-service leader in the transportation and distribution industry. As one of six divisions under the Koch Companies umbrella, Koch Trucking offers a diverse range of services, including Dedicated, Regional, Flatbed, Marine, and Specialized transportation. This variety provides employees with ample opportunities for professional growth and job flexibility, while simultaneously delivering tailored shipping solutions to customers across various industries.

The available position is for CDL-A Flatbed Company Drivers. This role is critical in maintaining Koch Trucking's reputation for consistent, reliable, and high-quality freight transportation.

Flatbed drivers at Koch Trucking benefit from a comprehensive package that supports their well-being and work-life balance. Home time is scheduled typically within 14-21 day cycles based on the driver’s location, and drivers accrue Paid Time Off from their first day, including three floating holidays each year. The company's fleet consists of trucks that are three years old or newer, averaging just 16 months in age, ensuring drivers operate with state-of-the-art equipment. Features such as refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtainwraps, double bunks, and built-in inverters enhance driver comfort on the road.

Additional monetary benefits include over-dimensional pay, stop pay, securement pay, tarp pay, and bonuses for lengthy hauls or border crossings into Canada. Orientation is conducted in luxury hotels with all expenses paid, located in Roseville, MN, and Appling, GA. Drivers are paid weekly and receive a free iPad with a data package to maintain strong communication with their families while on the road. The company also supports a pet and rider-friendly policy and provides access to a drivers' lounge equipped with essentials such as soap, shampoo, towels, toothpaste, laundry soap, pizza, and sandwiches. The use of the Rolling Strong driver app further enhances the driving experience.
