1. Guaranteed Home Every Weekend
At Sunbelt Transport, we understand that family time is important. That’s why our Southeast Regional CDL drivers are guaranteed to be home every weekend. You’ll never have to miss out on important family events, and you’ll enjoy a balanced work-life schedule. This kind of home time is hard to come by in the trucking industry!
2. Competitive Pay – Paid for Every Mile
Sunbelt drivers earn $1,400 to $1,800 per week on average, and we pay for every mile you drive—whether you’re loaded or empty. We believe that hard work deserves fair compensation, and with consistent freight year-round, you can count on steady pay without the worry of slow seasons.
3. Paid Flatbed Training
No flatbed experience? No problem! At Sunbelt Transport, we provide paid training for new drivers and those who are new to flatbed trucking. Our 2-7 week training program ensures you’ll learn everything you need to know about flatbed securement and safety, while earning $100 per day, up to $500 per week during training.
4. The Best Equipment
We know how important it is to have reliable, comfortable equipment on the road. That’s why Sunbelt Transport invests in late-model Peterbilt, Freightliner, Kenworth, and International tractors. Our trucks are equipped with the latest technology and maintained to the highest standards, so you can focus on the job, not breakdowns.
5. 90% Pre-Loaded and Tarped Freight
At Sunbelt, we make life easier for our drivers by handling 90% of the load preparation and tarping for you. This means less time spent securing loads and more time driving, earning, and getting back home. It’s just another way we support our drivers and maximize their time on the road.
6. Quarterly Safety & Performance Bonuses
We reward safe driving and strong performance. Our drivers are eligible to earn up to $600 in quarterly bonuses for maintaining safety standards and excelling on the job. It’s our way of saying “thank you” for your dedication and attention to detail.
7. Annual Seniority Bonuses
At Sunbelt Transport, we believe in loyalty and long-term success. That’s why we offer annual seniority bonuses ranging from $500 to $2,500, rewarding our drivers for their commitment and hard work over the years. The longer you stay with us, the more you earn!
8. Advancement Opportunities
At Sunbelt Transport, we’re a family-owned company that promotes from within. Many of our current managers and dispatchers started out as drivers and worked their way up. If you’re looking for more than just a driving job and want to grow your career, Sunbelt offers opportunities for advancement in a company that values its team.
9. Comprehensive Benefits Package
Driving for Sunbelt Transport means more than great pay—it means being taken care of. Our drivers receive medical, dental, vision, and 401K benefits, with a 50% match on 401K contributions up to 6%. We want you to be healthy and secure, both on and off the road.
