OKLAHOMA DRIVING JOBS

Fleet Details

Our over-the-road (OTR) drivers see the country, hauling freight throughout the lower 48 states. The top 50% of our OTR drivers average $1,560 - $1,793 per week. Drivers will also receive guaranteed pay of $1,000 per week or mileage - whichever is better - for their first four weeks out on the road.

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.

Trailers

Our trailers include: Reitnouer 53′ Aluminum Flatbeds, Reitnouer 53′ Aluminum Stepdecks, 53′ Benson Aluminum Stepdecks, and Fontaine 48’ Steel Combo RGNs. We take pride in our aluminum trailers, just like our drivers take pride in the freight they haul.

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.
