Job Description

Koch Trucking is a family-owned transportation company that has been operational since 1978, with a strong focus on driver satisfaction and safety. Recognized for its dedication to respect, excellence, safety, and innovation, Koch Trucking has established itself as a leader in full-service transportation and distribution. The company offers a variety of transportation services including Dedicated, Regional, Flatbed, Marine, and Specialized trucking solutions, providing both flexibility for drivers and tailored services to meet unique customer shipping needs. As part of the larger Koch Companies group, which provides truckload freight hauling, logistics, warehousing, and truck/trailer leasing, Koch Trucking benefits from a robust network and resources to support its drivers and customers alike. The company culture is centered on fostering a positive working environment where employees can thrive, supported by industry recognition such as the 2025 Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation by the Women in Trucking Association and the Top 200 Workplace by the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Koch Trucking is currently hiring CDL-A Flatbed Company Drivers to join their flatbed division. This role offers consistent and steady miles with routes that allow drivers to build familiarity with their customers, enhancing job satisfaction and route efficiency. Drivers will operate flatbed, step deck, or Conestoga trailers and must possess a valid CDL-A license with at least one year of driving experience in flatbed hauling. The position offers competitive compensation, with an average annual pay of $88,000 and top performers earning up to $95,000 annually. Additionally, a hiring bonus of $6,000 is available to attract skilled drivers.

The compensation package includes starting pay of $0.64 per mile, which can increase based on experience, and various performance incentives such as over-dimensional pay, stop pay, securement pay, and tarp pay. Home time is managed on a schedule of 14 to 21 days out, depending on location, ensuring drivers maintain a healthy work-life balance. Drivers also start accruing paid time off (PTO) immediately, with the addition of three floating holidays each year.

Koch Trucking supports its drivers with a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, alongside a 401(k) plan with company match to secure their financial futures. The company provides new drivers with all-expenses-paid orientation in luxury hotels located in Roseville, MN, and Appling, GA, ensuring a comfortable and professional start. The fleet consists of trucks that are three years old or newer, averaging just 16 months in age, featuring top-of-the-line Volvo 860 and Freightliner Cascadia models equipped with driver-friendly amenities such as refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtain wraps, double bunks, and built-in inverters.

Additional perks include paid weekly wages, a free iPad with a data package to keep drivers connected with family and friends, and a pet and rider policy to enhance the driving experience. Drivers also benefit from the Rolling Strong driver app and access to a free drivers' lounge stocked with essential items and food, further underscoring Koch Trucking's commitment to driver comfort and convenience. With such a comprehensive and supportive environment, Koch Trucking invites qualified CDL-A flatbed drivers to join their team and advance their careers in a respected and well-regarded company.
