Job Description

System Transport is a reputable and established transportation company specializing in the logistics and transportation of flatbed freight throughout the western region of the United States. Known for its commitment to safety, excellent pay packages, and comprehensive benefits, System Transport operates with a fleet that efficiently moves important goods such as glass, steel, aluminum, building materials, machinery, coils, and specialty metals. The company values its drivers and offers full-time positions with competitive compensation and a supportive working environment. Their operational hub includes an office in Spokane, Washington, where they provide orientation and training for new hires. This approach reflects their dedication to preparing drivers for success on the road.

The current opportunity at System Transport is for experienced OTR (Over The Road) Flatbed CDL-A drivers to join their regional division 295. This role involves long-haul flatbed trucking assignments that require skill, safety-consciousness, and reliability. Drivers will be responsible for hauling various critical materials, ensuring that deliveries are made timely and in excellent condition. Beyond the driving responsibilities, System Transport provides its drivers with a comprehensive benefits package that underscores their investment in their workforce. Salaries range from $46,956 to $82,940 annually, with pay rates between $0.52 and $0.66 per mile depending on experience. Weekly earnings can range from around $903 to $1,595, influenced by routes, attendance, and length of service.

Orientation for new drivers is fully paid and held at the Spokane office, with expenses such as airfare, hotel, and meals covered by the company. This reflects their commitment to easing new drivers into their roles. Additionally, the compensation package includes accessorial pay such as tarp pay, stop pay, detention pay, border crossing pay, safety bonuses, and over-dimensional pay where applicable. System Transport provides robust medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans, alongside short and long-term disability options. Employees also benefit from participating in a 401(k) plan with matching contributions, access to a health savings account, an employee assistance program, paid time off accruing with tenure, and a transition package.

An important note for potential applicants is the company policy prohibiting pets but allowing guest riders aged seven and older after 90 days of safe driving. System Transport seeks professional drivers who are safety-focused, dependable, and hold a valid CDL-A license with a minimum of four months driving experience and a clean driving record. Physical ability to handle the physical demands of flatbed trucking, including lifting tarps up to 90 pounds, is mandatory. Drivers must also pass thorough background checks, drug tests, and clearinghouse screenings.

This role offers a unique opportunity for drivers looking to work with a company that is proud to be "America Proud, Flatbed Strong." System Transport emphasizes equality and fair pay across its workforce, continuously striving to maintain a safe and supportive environment for all employees. Prospective applicants should act promptly as the application deadline is March 31, 2026, to seize this rewarding career opportunity with a company that values its drivers and offers both excellent pay and comprehensive benefits.
