Trailers

Aluminum 53' Reitnouer Flatbeds / Stepdecks
The aluminum trailers have very little maintenance so our drivers can stay out of the shop, and have sliding winches making it more convenient to strap down cargo.
53' Benson Aluminum Stepdecks
Our 53’ Benson aluminum stepdeck trailers are equipped with load levelers to convert trailers for flatbed freight. This means less down time swapping trailers for certain style of loads.
48' Fontaine Removable Goose Necks (RGNs)
The RGNs are mechanical and are some of the lightest in the industry, and can hold up to 45,000lb machines.
Hunt Transportation also utilizes the Bestpass transponder for ease in paying tolls in locations where Bestpass is accepted, and has 24/7 Road Service Support for any flatbed equipment maintenance needs.

DEDICATED FLEETS
Case / New Holland Dedicated - Flatbed
Fleet Details
This dedicated fleet hauls Case / New Holland agricultural equipment across the central and eastern U.S., with a 2,000 mile per week minimum guarantee and 2,000 - 2,300 mile week on average. Primary pickup and drop-off locations will be Grand Island, NE, Wichita, KS, Houston, TX, Burlington, IA, Sturtevant, WI, New Holland, PA, and Baltimore, MD. Loads are 99% pre-planned and over-dimensional loads (21% of freight) pay an additional $0.10 per mile. Drivers can expect 2 days of home time for every 2 weeks out on this fleet.
Additional Compensation
Oversized Load Pay
Flatbed drivers are paid an additional $.10 per paid dispatched loaded mile on all permitted oversized loads. Approximately 1 in 7 loads are oversized.
Tarp Pay
Less than 15% of our loads require tarp. Many of the loads are pre-loaded agricultural freight which allows our drivers to tarp much less than other flatbed companies. If, however, a load requires tarp we will pay $50 and an additional $20 for re-tarps.
Safety / Productivity Bonus
A driver will be paid a $0.03 per mile bonus if he/she produces 27,000 or more delivered and paid practical route dispatched miles in a quarter (January – March, April – June, July – September, or October – December) while meeting the following criteria:
- No reckless, careless, or imprudent driving (CMV or otherwise) offenses

- No violating an out of service order offenses

Bonuses will be paid during the following month at the end of the quarter, and drivers must be employed as an active driver on the payment date to receive the bonus.
TWIC Reimbursement
Hunt Transportation will cover 100% of the cost of all new and renewed TWICs.
Short-Haul Compensation
We pay an additional payment of $35 for any trip with a loaded length of haul of 350 miles or less. This includes relay segments of a trip if done at the direction of operations, and not done simply for driver convenience or by request.
Stop-Off Pay
If your load requires multiple stops in addition to the original pick up and the final delivery, you will receive stop pay of $30 per stop.
Breakdown Pay
When a truck breakdown occurs, drivers are paid $100 for each 24 hour period—following the first 12 hours.
