Location: Mobile, AL 36602

• Weekend home time with a 34-hour reset
• Dedicated stainless-steel customer freight

Role: CDL-A Flatbed Truck Driver

Compensation: Weekly pay of $2,000 to $2,100. Qualified drivers are eligible for a $5,000 sign-on bonus.

• Dedicated stainless-steel customer freight
• Backhaul freight planned toward Alabama
• Primarily live loading and unloading
• No unnecessary deadhead back to the account
