Job Description

Koch Trucking, a family-owned and driver-focused company since 1978, has established itself as a leader in full-service transportation and distribution. With a commitment to respect, excellence, safety, and innovation, Koch Trucking offers a positive and healthy business environment that benefits both employees and customers alike. The company is part of the larger Koch Companies, which provide a wide range of transportation services including truckload freight hauling, logistics, warehousing, and truck/trailer leasing. Koch Trucking operates multiple divisions including Dedicated, Regional, Flatbed, Marine, and Specialized transportation, catering to unique shipping needs with flexibility for its drivers.

Koch Trucking is currently hiring CDL-A Flatbed Company Drivers to join its flatbed division. This role offers an average annual salary of $85,000, with top performers earning up to $95,000 annually. New drivers can benefit from a $6,000 hiring bonus, signifying the company's investment in recruiting talented professionals. Drivers receive starting pay of 61-63 cents per mile, based on experience, and have access to a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance. Home time varies depending on the location, and drivers start accruing paid time off (PTO) from the first day, along with three floating holidays each year.

The position involves consistent and steady miles along flatbed routes, allowing drivers to build familiarity with their customers and routes. Koch Trucking values safety and quality, providing a fleet where all trucks are 3 years old or newer, with an average truck age of just 16 months. Trucks such as Volvo 860 and Freightliner Cascadias are equipped with driver-friendly features including refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtain wraps, double bunks, and built-in inverters. Drivers enjoy weekly pay, a free iPad with a data package to stay connected with family and friends, and access to a free drivers lounge stocked with essentials such as soap, shampoo, towels, toothbrush, toothpaste, laundry soap, pizza, and sandwiches.

Additional compensation is available for over-dimensional loads, stop pay, tarp pay, and loaded border crossings into Canada. The company promotes a supportive work environment with perks like pet and rider policies, a referral bonus program, and luxurious all-expenses-paid orientation sessions held in Roseville, MN, and Appling, GA. Koch Trucking also supports drivers with technology through the Rolling Strong driver app.

This is an excellent opportunity for CDL-A drivers with experience hauling flatbed, step deck, or Conestoga trailers to join a reputable company that emphasizes driver respect, innovation, and employee well-being. Koch Trucking’s strong company culture and commitment to providing high-quality working conditions make it an attractive employer in the trucking industry.
