Job Description
Koch Trucking is a prominent division within Koch Companies, a multifaceted transportation and logistics powerhouse with over 40 years of industry experience. As part of Koch Companies, which provides services such as truckload freight hauling, logistics, warehousing, and truck and trailer leasing, Koch Trucking stands out for its commitment to driver satisfaction and operational excellence. Recognized for its inclusive culture and employer quality, Koch Companies has earned accolades including the 2025 Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation by the Women in Trucking Association and a Top 200 Workplace designation by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. This recognition underscores the company's dedication to fostering a supportive and engaging work environment, promoting diversity, and empowering its workforce.
Koch Trucking operates with a core philosophy of being "Family Owned, Driver Focused," emphasizing the balance between a rewarding driving career and personal life. This philosophy is particularly evident in their dedicated division, which offers Class A CDL drivers the opportunity to operate on consistent dedicated routes. These routes are designed to provide drivers with steady miles and increased route familiarity, allowing for a more predictable and manageable work schedule. The company currently hires from hubs in Minneapolis, MN; Bolingbrook, IL; and Madison, WI, serving routes primarily running round trips between Chaska, MN, and the Chicagoland area. The majority of the work involves drop-and-hook dry van freight with no-touch cargo, enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing physical labor for drivers.
The position offers competitive starting pay at $0.70 per mile, along with a $1,500 weekly pay guarantee, reflecting Koch Trucking’s commitment to providing financial stability and rewarding its drivers. As part of the compensation package, the company also offers a $1,500 hiring bonus paid monthly over the first year, adding an incentive to join their team. All expenses for orientation are covered, conducted in luxury hotels located in Roseville, MN, and Appling, GA, ensuring that new hires start their careers with the best possible support and comfort.
Koch Trucking’s fleet is a standout feature, with trucks averaging just 16 months old and including modern Volvo 860 and Freightliner Cascadia models. These vehicles are equipped with driver-focused amenities such as refrigerators, leather interiors, double curtain wraps for privacy, double bunks for comfort during rest periods, built-in inverters, and other features designed to enhance the driver experience and promote well-being on the road. This focus on truck quality and driver comfort demonstrates Koch’s understanding of what drivers need to be safe, productive, and comfortable while working.
Beyond equipment, Koch Trucking provides an attractive benefits package that supports drivers and their families. Paid time off starts accruing on day one along with three floating holidays annually, ensuring work-life balance. Comprehensive insurance options including health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance are part of the benefits. Drivers also receive a free iPad with a data package to stay connected with loved ones, a pet and rider policy, 401(k) retirement plans with company match, and 24/7/365 roadside assistance. The company further supports its drivers through free driver lounge amenities—offering essentials like soap, shampoo, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and laundry soap—as well as complimentary food items such as pizza and sandwiches.
Drivers at Koch Trucking benefit from a supportive culture that includes a $3,000 referral bonus program and access to the Rolling Strong driver app, designed to improve wellness and performance on the road. The company welcomes experienced company drivers, owner-operators, military veterans, and women, highlighting its commitment to an inclusive workplace. Koch Trucking is proud to provide a work environment where drivers can achieve career growth while maintaining a healthy balance at home, making it an ideal choice for Class A CDL drivers looking for dedicated route opportunities with a family-oriented employer.
