Job Description

Koch Trucking is a family-owned and driver-focused specialized trucking company that has been operational since 1978. Renowned for its dedication to respect, excellence, safety, and innovation, Koch Trucking has established itself as a leading full-service transportation and distribution company in the industry. With a rich history spanning over four decades, the company prides itself on maintaining a healthy and supportive business environment that allows both employees and customers to thrive. Koch Trucking offers a variety of transportation services, including Dedicated, Regional, Flatbed, Marine, and Specialized transportation, providing flexibility to its drivers and efficiently meeting the unique shipping needs of its diverse clientele.

The company is part of Koch Companies, which encompasses five divisions offering a comprehensive suite of transportation services such as truckload freight hauling, logistics, warehousing, and truck/trailer leasing. Known for its inclusive and supportive work culture, Koch Companies has earned several accolades, including recognition as a 2025 Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation by the Women in Trucking Association and being listed as a Top 200 Workplace by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. These awards highlight the company’s commitment to fostering equity, employee well-being, and professional growth.

Koch Trucking is currently hiring CDL-A Specialized Company Drivers with an attractive average annual pay of $85,000, with top performers earning over $95,000 annually. The role offers a starting pay of 57 to 59 cents per mile (CPM) based on experience, along with a $6,000 hiring bonus. Drivers delivering to Canada with passports earn an additional one cent CPM, underscoring the company's commitment to rewarding drivers for their expertise and flexibility. The driving schedule typically involves being out on the road for 10 to 14 days, depending on the location, and drivers can expect to cover an average weekly mileage of 2,200 to 2,400 miles. Additional pay includes $4 per loaded or unloaded car and $30 per stop, maximizing earning potential.

This position offers company vehicles that are modern and driver-friendly, with all trucks being three years old or newer—the average fleet age is just 16 months. The fleet includes Volvo 860 and Freightliner Cascadia trucks equipped with refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtain wraps, double bunks, built-in inverters, and other features enhancing driver comfort and convenience.

Koch Trucking also emphasizes comprehensive benefits designed to support drivers personally and professionally. Orientation is held at a luxury hotel in Appling, GA, with all expenses paid. Drivers enjoy a PTO package beginning on their first day, inclusive of three floating holidays per year. Health benefits encompass medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance. Technology benefits include a free iPad with a data package for connectivity with family and friends. The company supports drivers with a pet and rider policy, a 401k plan with company match, 24/7/365 roadside assistance, and a $3,000 referral bonus. The Rolling Strong driver app enhances communication and support, while free driver lounge benefits—such as toiletries, laundry soap, and food like pizza and sandwiches—help maintain comfort and morale on the road.

This role is ideal for professionals with at least one year of driving experience hauling flatbed, step deck, or Conestoga trailers, and who hold a valid Class A CDL.
