Job Description

System Transport, a reputable leader in the trucking and logistics industry, is currently seeking experienced OTR (Over The Road) Flatbed CDL-A Drivers to join their team. Operating primarily in the western region of America, System Transport prides itself on delivering top-notch transportation services for a variety of heavy and specialty freight, including glass, steel, aluminum, building materials, machinery, coils, and specialty metals. With a strong commitment to driver satisfaction and safety, System Transport offers a professional work environment where drivers are valued as essential partners in the company’s ongoing success.

System Transport is well-known for its dedication to providing competitive pay and comprehensive benefit packages to its employees. The employment opportunity for the position of OTR Flatbed CDL-A Driver is full-time with an annual salary range between $46,956 and $82,940, depending on the driver’s level of experience and route assignments. They strive to foster a supportive work culture that not only emphasizes job safety but also ensures drivers have the tools and perks needed to thrive in their careers. System Transport also operates a regional division (Division 295) focused on the western U.S. market, offering consistent routes and reliable scheduling to promote work-life balance.

As an OTR Flatbed CDL-A Driver with System Transport, the primary responsibility will be transporting critical cargo safely and efficiently across designated routes. Drivers will be entrusted with handling specialized flatbed loads such as large industrial materials and heavy machinery, requiring careful loading, securing, and adherence to safety regulations. The role demands physical capability, including the ability to lift tarps weighing up to 90 pounds, which is a necessary job function given the nature of flatbed loads. Orientation is paid and conducted in Spokane, Washington, where the company even covers airfare, accommodation, and meals to ensure new hires start their journey comfortably.

System Transport’s pay structure is designed to reward experience and excellent driving records, with per-mile pay rates varying from $0.52 to $0.66 based on seniority and attendance. Additional compensation is available through accessorial pay such as tarp pay, stop pay, detention pay, border crossing pay, safety bonuses, and over-dimensional pay, making the overall remuneration highly competitive within the industry. This multi-faceted compensation approach underscores System Transport’s commitment to recognizing the hard work and skill brought to the table by its drivers.

Beyond competitive compensation, System Transport offers an extensive employee benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, long and short-term disability coverage, and a 401(k) plan with company match. They provide a health savings account option, an employee assistance program, and paid time off based on tenure, including sick leave and vacation accrued incrementally. This package reflects their investment in employees’ well-being and long-term financial security.

The company maintains a firm pet policy, disallowing pets on trucks, but does support guest riders aged seven and older after a driver has completed 90 days of safe driving. System Transport’s culture of safety and responsibility is further emphasized by its strict hiring requirements, including valid CDL-A licensure, a clean safety record, limited job changes, and successful background and drug screenings. The recruitment window for this outstanding driving opportunity is open through April 30, 2026, inviting qualified professionals to join a team that is "America Proud, Flatbed Strong."
