Why Drive for Boyd Bros.?

Boyd Bros. drivers haul more than freight-they haul a reputation built on respect, safety, and reliability. Now under new management, Boyd is focused on what drivers want most: more home time, better planning, and expanded running lanes.

We're improving routes, opening up opportunities, and putting drivers first-so you can run smarter, get home more, and keep your career moving forward. If you're ready for a company investing in its drivers, Boyd Bros. is the place to be.

CDL-A Flatbed Driver Details

  • Reliable pay you can count on. Top drivers earn up to $90,000 per year, with a $1,200 weekly minimum when running 1,800+ miles. Most drivers earn $1,400-$2,200 per week.
  • Step in and start earning immediately. We offer a $1,500 signing bonus and an additional $1,100 orientation completion pay.
  • Home weekends, every week. Run hard during the week and be home every weekend, giving you a rhythm that works for real life.
  • Freight that keeps you earning. Enjoy 40% drop + hook and 40% of loads that don't require tarping, so more of your time is spent driving, not waiting.
  • No flatbed experience? No problem. Start with one week of paid orientation in Birmingham, then spend a second week driving with a flatbed instructor. Earn $2,000 during your two-week onboarding while you build new skills.

Company Benefits That Back You Up

  • Health, dental, vision, life insurance options
  • $1,000 referral bonus
