Job Description

Koch Trucking is a family-owned and driver-focused transportation company that operates as one of six divisions under Koch Companies. Specializing in providing comprehensive transportation services, Koch Companies encompasses truckload freight hauling, logistics, warehousing, and truck/trailer leasing. With a reputation built on delivering high-quality service and a commitment to employee welfare, Koch Trucking is recognized as a Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation by the Women in Trucking Association and has been named a Top 200 Workplace by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. This demonstrates their dedication to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and professional work environment.

Koch Trucking's Specialized Division is currently seeking Class A CDL truck drivers to join their team. This role offers an exciting and unique opportunity for CDL-A drivers who want to differentiate themselves in the industry by hauling specialized equipment. The specialized division focuses on transporting ATVs and other recreational vehicles using custom decking trailers. This specialized hauling leads to bigger paychecks and familiar routes, making the job both financially rewarding and predictable in terms of daily operations.

This position provides guaranteed pay of $1,700 per week, with a starting pay rate of $0.66 per CPM (cents per mile) and a hiring bonus of $6,000. Candidates must possess a valid passport as international travel is sometimes a part of the job. Home time is available weekly, although some Saturday deliveries may be required. Drivers must live within 150 miles of East Syracuse, NY, and they receive additional pay for stops needed to unload power units.

Koch Trucking makes driver comfort and satisfaction a priority. Orientation expenses are fully covered and conducted in luxury hotels located in Roseville, MN, and Appling, GA. The truck fleet is modern, with all vehicles being three years old or newer, averaging just 16 months in age. Trucks are equipped with driver-centric features such as refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtain wraps, double bunks, built-in inverters, and more.

The company encourages experienced company drivers, owner-operators, military veterans, and women to apply, reflecting their commitment to diversity and inclusion. Alongside competitive pay, Koch Trucking offers comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, a 401K plan with company match, paid time off starting from day one plus three floating holidays annually, and a pet and rider policy. Drivers also benefit from a free iPad with a data package to ensure connectivity with family and friends, 24/7/365 roadside assistance, and access to free driver lounges with amenities such as toiletries, laundry soap, pizza, and sandwiches.

Furthermore, Koch Trucking provides a $3,000 referral bonus and access to the Rolling Strong driver app to promote driver wellness and safety. Their approach is all about the "Koch Difference," which means drivers are welcomed into a supportive, family-oriented team where their needs and comfort are prioritized from the first day. This focus on driver wellbeing, combined with a modern fleet, competitive pay, and excellent benefits, make this Specialized Division CDL-A Driver role a compelling opportunity for qualified individuals seeking a rewarding trucking career.
