With a strong focus on respect and driver-centric policies, Koch Trucking has grown to become a full-service leader in the transportation and distribution industry. The company operates a range of transportation services including dedicated, regional, flatbed, marine, and specialized hauling to meet the diverse shipping needs of its customers.

A $6,000 hiring bonus is also offered, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, PTO, 401k with company match, and more.

Additional compensation includes over dimensional pay, stop pay, tarp pay, and bonuses for loaded border crossings for those drivers electing to go to Canada. Drivers receive paid weekly wages, free iPads with data packages to keep connected with family, and access to driver lounges stocked with essentials like soap, shampoo, towels, laundry detergent, and even pizza and sandwiches. Koch also offers luxurious training orientations in Roseville, MN and Appling, GA, and maintains a rider and pet policy, supporting driver comfort and life on the road.

Overall, this position is ideal for experienced CDL-A drivers who want to join a respected and stable company that values its people and provides opportunities for professional growth and high earning potential.
