CDL Driver

Let's talk about the work

You're running local routes out of Madison, WI with a tractor trailer and flatbed. It's home daily, and your weekends are always yours. The schedule is Monday through Friday. You'll start between 6 and 6:30 in the morning and wrap up around 4:30 PM.

You'll be making 2 to 4 stops a day, delivering steel coils and metal sheets. That means you need to know how to secure that kind of load. You have to be willing and able to chain, strap, and tarp at both the shipper and the delivery sites.

What you need to bring

• A valid Class A CDL.
• A current DOT medical card.
• At least one year of verifiable Class A driving experience from the last three years.
• Specifically, you need a minimum of 12 months working with flatbeds.
• A good Motor Vehicle Record and accident history.
• A solid work history they can check on.

Having a TWIC card is a nice bonus, but it isn't mandatory to start.

The pay and schedule

This is a full time position. You're looking at averaging between $1,300 and $1,500 every week. That breaks down to an hourly rate of $30.00.

Payday is every Friday, and they offer direct deposit so you don't have to worry about a paper check.

Benefits from day one

• Health insurance for you and your family starts immediately.
• The same goes for dental and vision coverage.
• You get holiday pay right from the start as well.
• A retirement benefits plan is also part of the package beginning on your first day.

How to apply

If this sounds like your kind of run, go ahead and apply. Make sure your application clearly shows your flatbed experience from the last few years.
