The job of a flatbed trucker is challenging and rewarding. You will depend on your skills, knowledge and experience to safely secure and transport freight. We’re constantly hiring flatbed truck drivers, including experienced drivers with their CDL and new drivers with little to no experience. Apply to start your journey as a Prime truck driver.
As a flatbed driver, you will handle large freight of all shapes and weights. Our flatbeds haul steel, pipes, drywall, machinery and other materials used in construction and agricultural industries. Flatbeds are open trailers so drivers must know how to secure and tarp their loads. If you’re looking for a challenge, Prime offers over-the-road and regional flatbed trucking jobs.
Haul freight across the country. Over-the-road (OTR) flatbed trucking jobs take you far and wide. You’ll be out on the road for three to four weeks at a time, getting paid for every mile you go.
Prime offers regional routes for flatbed drivers. Regional truck drivers work within a specific section of the country and are home more often than over-the-road drivers. As a regional driver, you can look forward to weekends. You will return home every one to two weeks.
Becoming a company truck driver has many benefits. Company flatbed drivers can earn safety bonuses and participate in insurance and retirement benefits. We offer company over-the-road, regional and team flatbed jobs.
Grab a co-driver and put in some miles. Company flatbed teams can earn split bonuses for driving over 3,000 miles each week. Being a part of a team means you’ll have someone to help you secure and load freight.
As an independent contractor, you get to set your own schedule and decide which loads to take. Owner-operators can lease a truck through Prime’s standard lease and lease purchase programs. Success Leasing helps drivers get a truck without purchasing one outright. Receive service discounts and earn financial incentives the longer you work for Prime.
Flatbed truck drivers make more per mile than refrigerated drivers. As a company flatbed driver, you can also receive insurance and retirement benefits, paid time off and safety bonuses for good driving. See below for our company and independent contractor pay rates.
48 cents per mile
54 cents per mile split

Flatbed driving is more physically demanding, and that’s what separates it from other divisions. The challenge comes from following regulations and ensuring freight is secure. Many drivers enjoy stopping to load and unload as a break from driving for long periods of time.
