How Your Week Moves
Drivers begin with dedicated stainless-steel freight originating near Calvert, Alabama. After the outbound delivery, available backhaul freight is used to keep the truck productive while working toward the next customer load. The schedule is built around getting drivers home every weekend.
Flatbed Work
Smaller stainless-steel coils and flat stainless-steel sheets make up the primary outbound freight. Most freight is live loaded and live unloaded, with approximately 75% requiring tarping.
The account uses lighter six-foot drop tarps rather than larger traditional flatbed tarps. Tarp compensation is included within the overall account pay program.
Equipment Set Up for the Account
- Assigned newer-model Kenworth T680
- 2025 Extreme 48-foot flatbed trailer
- 12 winches with straps
- Two six-foot drop tarps
Drivers remain with the same trailer throughout the trip rather than operating a drop-and-hook trailer system.
