Additionally, drivers accrue PTO from their first day alongside three floating holidays each year.

The comprehensive benefits package showcases a strong commitment to employee well-being with health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance options, along with a 401K plan featuring a company match. The company facilitates a seamless onboarding experience with all-expenses-paid orientation held in luxury hotels located in Roseville, MN, and Appling, GA. A free iPad with a data package is provided to help drivers stay connected with family and friends, and the company’s pet and rider policies further enhance the driver experience.

Supporting drivers on the road is a priority at Koch Trucking, offering 24/7/365 roadside assistance and exclusive access to Rolling Strong driver app. Drivers also benefit from free lounge facilities stocked with essentials, food items, and laundry supplies. The company encourages applications from a diverse range of candidates including experienced company drivers, owner-operators, military veterans, and women.

Overall, this specialized CDL-A driver position at Koch Trucking presents an exciting opportunity for professional drivers seeking a rewarding career with a respected and forward-thinking employer that values its drivers as family and supports their success at every step.
