CDL A OTR Flatbed Driver

Transport National is an elite fleet that hauls flatbed and specialized trailers of oversized and overdimensional freight. We are looking for an over-the-road (OTR) Class A CDL Truck Driver to join our family-oriented team. We get drivers home by design, never running more than 10 days with most runs 4-6 days out. You'll run less miles and earn more money. You'll also be the "wow" factor on the road with our loads, moving huge silos, generators, buildings and more. The bigger loads you haul, the more money you make. 
 
Our drivers join our family and don't want to leave. We have a 35% turnover rate with lots of drivers that have been here for over 20 years. We respect our employees, provide great equipment, and fully train drivers to make sure you're comfortable before getting started. Our CSA score is great too!
