What are the responsibilities and job description for the CDL-A LOCAL FLATBED DRIVER — HOME EVERY NIGHT! position at Trans United?
$27.50–$32.00/HOUR OVERTIME | MONDAY–FRIDAY | NO WEEKENDS
Trans-United Specialized Hauling | Northwest Indiana / Chicagoland
YOUR BED IS AT HOME. YOUR PAYCHECK IS HOURLY. YOUR WEEKENDS ARE YOURS.
Let's be honest. Life is too short to spend weeks away from home, chase miles, or wonder what your paycheck will look like.
At Trans-United Specialized Hauling, we're looking for experienced CDL-A flatbed drivers who want good hourly pay, steady local work, and a life outside the driver's seat.
We've been in the business for over 60 years. We know trucking, we value experienced drivers, and we believe a good job should work for your life — not the other way around.
Here's what makes this job worth a look:
- $27.50–$32.00 per hour — your pay isn't riding on how many miles you run.
- Overtime after 40 hours — because extra work should mean extra pay.
- Home every night — your own bed, your own shower, your own refrigerator.
- Monday–Friday schedule — weekends are for living, not living in a truck.
- Typically 40–50 hours per week — consistent work with planned freight.
- Experienced dispatch team — real people working with you to keep things moving.
- 60 years in business — an established company, not a fly-by-night operation.
BEFORE YOU HIT APPLY — LET'S MAKE SURE WE'RE A MATCH
Indeed may let everyone click Apply. We're looking for drivers who meet these requirements:

If you meet the requirements, keep reading. We'd like to hear from you!
WHAT WILL YOU BE HAULING?
This isn't your average box-trailer job. You'll handle local steel and specialized freight throughout Northwest Indiana and the Chicagoland area.
Your work may include:
- Flatbed, step deck, and RGN equipment
- Local deliveries and pickups
- Pre-planned freight and established lanes
- Safe loading, securement, transportation, and delivery of specialized freight
You'll use your experience, attention to detail, and securement skills to get the job done safely and professionally.
PAY & BENEFITS
We believe the job should offer more than just a steering wheel and a paycheck.
- $27.50/hour starting pay, with higher pay based on experience, up to $32.00/hour
- Overtime after 40 hours
- Weekly direct deposit
- Paid orientation
- Paid time off (PTO)
- Paid holidays
- $45 monthly cell phone allowance
- Health, dental, and vision insurance after 60 days
- Driver referral bonuses
- Fuel card and fuel discounts
- Paid toll fees
WHO WILL LOVE THIS JOB?
You'll probably fit right in if you:
- Have real flatbed experience and know your securement.
- Take pride in your equipment and your work.
- Want predictable local work instead of life on the road.
- Appreciate a team that understands trucking.
- Want to earn a solid hourly wage and still make it home for dinner.
