With decades of experience, Koch Trucking has built a strong reputation for excellence, safety, respect, and innovation in its operations. The company operates as one of six divisions under Koch Companies, which provides a comprehensive suite of transportation services including truckload freight hauling, logistics, warehousing, and truck/trailer leasing.

Their commitment to creating a healthy, respectful business environment allows both employees and customers to thrive while offering flexible services tailored to unique shipping needs. Koch Trucking provides Dedicated, Regional, Flatbed, Marine, and Specialized transportation services, ensuring their drivers have options that suit their preferences and lifestyles.

Currently, Koch Trucking is hiring CDL-A Flatbed Company Drivers to join their flatbed division. This role offers an excellent opportunity for experienced drivers who hold a valid CDL-A license and have at least one year of driving experience, particularly hauling flatbed, step deck, or Conestoga trailers. Drivers will benefit from consistent and steady routes that enhance familiarity with customers and deliveries. As part of Koch Trucking’s commitment to rewarding hard work, the role offers an average annual pay of $88,000, with top performers earning up to $95,000 a year and additional bonuses including a $6,000 hiring bonus. Starting pay is competitive at $0.64 per mile, adjusted based on experience, with a range of additional incentives for over-dimensional loads, stop pay, securement pay, and tarp pay. The position usually involves being on the road for 14 to 21 days based on location, with generous paid time off accrual starting on the first day, plus three floating holidays annually.

Drivers at Koch Trucking will enjoy modern, well-equipped trucks that are on average only 16 months old, including Volvo 860 and Freightliner Cascadia models featuring driver-friendly amenities such as refrigerators, leather interiors, dual bunks, built-in inverters, and double curtain wraps. Orientation is conducted in luxury hotels located in Roseville, MN, and Appling, GA, fully paid by the company. Additional benefits include health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, a 401(k) plan with company match, paid weekly compensation, and a free iPad with a data package to help drivers stay connected. The company fosters a supportive driver environment with facilities like a free driver lounge offering essentials and refreshments plus policies that allow for pet and rider accompaniment. With strong earning potential, modern equipment, comprehensive benefits, and a culture that values its drivers, Koch Trucking offers an outstanding career opportunity for CDL-A flatbed company drivers seeking stability, growth, and respect in their profession.
