With a strong focus on driver satisfaction and professional development, Koch Trucking prides itself on a modern fleet, excellent working conditions, and competitive compensation.

Koch Trucking is currently seeking Class A CDL drivers to join its Flatbed Division. This role offers an excellent opportunity for drivers to maximize their earning potential by hauling oversized flatbed loads. Importantly, no prior flatbed experience is necessary as Koch provides additional training during orientation to ensure all drivers are well-prepared and confident.

The company prides itself on offering a highly supportive work environment including all-expenses-paid orientation at luxury hotels in Roseville, MN, and Appling, GA. Koch’s flatbed fleet trucks are all three years old or newer, with an average fleet age of just 16 months, featuring Volvo 860 and Freightliner Cascadia models equipped with driver-friendly amenities such as refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtain wraps, double bunks, and built-in inverters. Drivers receive paid weekly wages, a PTO package starting from day one, including three floating holidays annually, and a comprehensive benefits package with health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.

Additional financial incentives include a $6,000 hiring bonus, $30 per stop pay, $25 per securement pay, $50 per tarp pay, and generous over-dimensional pay running from $75 to $200 based on miles. Loads over 64K earn a $400 premium, and drivers who elect to cross the border into Canada receive $100 for each loaded crossing. The company also supports driver connectivity by providing a free iPad with a data package and offers pet and rider policies for driver comfort. Koch enhances driver experience further through 24/7/365 roadside assistance, a $3,000 referral bonus, and a modern rolling Strong driver app to support communication and job management.

This is an ideal position for experienced company drivers, owner-operators, military veterans, as well as women seeking rewarding careers in trucking.
