Description

Regional CDL-A Flatbed Drivers
Home Every Weekend | Family-Owned Since 1928

Tired of being a truck number instead of a name? Join a family-owned flatbed carrier where
you're home every weekend, your paycheck is predictable, and your truck is set up to make
your life easier on the road.

About Summerford Truck Line:
Summerford Truck Line is a family-owned flatbed company based in Ashford, Alabama, with over 98 years and four generations in the business. We've grown into a nationally recognized carrier, but we still run on small-company values: safety, respect, and doing things the right way.

The Regional Driver Position:
  • Position: Regional Class A CDL Flatbed Driver (Company W2)
  • Freight: Primarily flatbed, 50% drop & hook / 50% live load-unload.
  • Typical Weekly Miles: 2,500-3,000
  • Home Time: Guaranteed home every weekend.
  • Terminals/Primary Lanes: Southeast and surrounding regional markets.

What You'll Earn:
  • Average weekly pay: around $1,300-$1,500, with a guaranteed weekly minimum for regional drivers.
  • New drivers can earn $80,000+ in their first year with performance-based pay schedules.
  • Mileage pay that increases with tenure and experience, plus safety and performance incentives.
  • Additional pay for short-haul loads under 100 miles, detention, and layover when applicable.

Benefits That Have Your Back:
  • Full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, and 401(k) with company match.
  • Paid holidays and paid vacation after your first year, with weeks added as your tenure grows.
  • Optional legal coverage and reimbursement for certain credentialing costs like TWIC fees.
  • Recruiting bonuses: earn extra per mile for every qualified driver you refer who joins the team, with no cap as long as you both stay employed.

Equipment & Comfort:
  • Mostly Automatic Transmissions.
  • Trucks equipped with refrigerators, satellite radio, APUs, and no driver-facing cameras.

What We're Looking For:
  • Valid Class A CDL.
  • At least 24 months of recent tractor-trailer experience (flatbed training available for the right driver).
  • Generally clean MVR: no more than two moving violations in the last three years.
  • Strong safety record and professional attitude.
  • Willingness to handle tarping (more frequent in winter than in summer).

Why Drivers Stay:
Our drivers consistently point to three reasons they stay with Summerford: they're home when we say they'll be, their pay is steady and competitive, and they're treated like part of the family, not just a truck number. With nearly a century on the road, we've built a culture where you can build a long-term, stable career—not just your next job.

Take the next step in your driving career—hook onto a company that's been putting drivers
