Job Description

Koch Trucking is a prominent division within Koch Companies, a comprehensive transportation and logistics conglomerate known for its high standards and exceptional service delivery across various logistics domains including truckload freight hauling, warehousing, and truck/trailer leasing. Established as a leader in the transportation industry, Koch Trucking is dedicated to providing an outstanding work environment, cutting-edge equipment, and continuous support to its drivers. Recognized for its commitment to diversity and inclusion, the company has earned accolades such as the 2024 Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation by the Women in Trucking Association, Top 200 Workplace by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and 2024 Top Food Chain Provider by Food Shippers of America. These honors reflect Koch Trucking's investment in its workforce and its leadership position in the logistics and transportation sector.

Koch Trucking is actively seeking Class A CDL drivers to join its Flatbed division. This role is perfect for both seasoned flatbed professionals and newcomers eager to learn, as the company provides additional training during orientation to ensure every driver gains confidence and competence in handling oversized flatbed loads. Drivers joining Koch's flatbed fleet can maximize their earning potential by hauling steady and consistent miles. The position offers competitive pay, with starting rates between $0.61 to $0.63 per mile based on experience, and average annual earnings reaching approximately $85,000. Top performers have the opportunity to earn as much as $95,000 annually. The company supports drivers with a flatbed fleet composed of newer trucks—averaging just 16 months in age—which feature Volvo 860 and Freightliner Cascadia models equipped for driver comfort and safety, including refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtain wraps, double bunks, and built-in inverters.

Additional incentives and benefits are robust, including a generous hiring bonus of $6,000, stop pay, securement pay, tarp pay, and over-dimensional pay for specialized loads. Home time is managed thoughtfully, with drivers being out on the road for 14 to 21 days based on location, promoting a healthy work-life balance. Orientation programs are held in luxury hotels with all expenses paid, located in Roseville, Minnesota, and Appling, Georgia. Drivers also accrue paid time off starting from day one, along with three floating holidays annually.

Koch Trucking is committed to ensuring its employees' wellbeing through comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance plans. Additional perks include a free iPad with a data package to facilitate communication with family and friends, pet and rider-friendly policies, a 401K plan with company match, and around-the-clock road service assistance. Drivers can also benefit from the Rolling Strong driver app and access free drivers lounge amenities featuring essentials like soap, shampoo, towels, and complimentary food items such as pizza and sandwiches.

The Flatbed CDL Driver role at Koch Trucking offers a stable and rewarding career path for experienced company drivers, owner-operators, military veterans, and women, all of whom are encouraged to apply. Prospective candidates should be at least 22 years old, hold a valid Class A CDL license, maintain a stable work history and a clean driving record, reflecting the high standards Koch Trucking maintains for safety and professionalism. If you seek a reputable employer that values its drivers, supports career growth, and provides excellent compensation and benefits, Koch Trucking is the destination where flatbed driving can become a fulfilling profession.
