System Transport has been hauling what builds America since 1972. We combine the resources of a large company with the personal feel of a small business, keeping the country running with drivers behind the wheel. Our mission is to transport important goods and materials—including glass, steel, aluminum, building materials, machinery, coils, and specialty metals—while ensuring our drivers feel at home.
We are seeking experienced CDL-A flatbed truck drivers for regional routes in the western region of America, based out of our Kansas City, MO terminal (Division 290). As a driver, you will operate modern, meticulously maintained flatbed trucks equipped with cutting-edge safety technologies, including lane departure warnings, forward collision systems, and satellite communication devices.
This role offers a unique opportunity to become "America Proud, Flatbed Strong." You will be responsible for transporting heavy loads, which includes tarping approximately 70% of our loads. Drivers must be physically capable of lifting a 90-pound tarp onto a 5-foot high platform twice, a requirement tested during orientation.
For a limited time through May 31, 2026, we are also accepting applications from recent CDL-A graduates. Qualified new drivers can join our team, receive training, and start their driving career with us during this special period.
Your safety is paramount to us. If a truck needs repairs, it will not go out until it is 100% ready to hit the road again safely. We provide 24/7/365 road service staff and shops to support you on the road.
We also prioritize your well-being with our award-winning Driver Portal app, built by drivers for drivers. This tool provides real-time updates, pay access, trip data, and direct communication with support staff. Additionally, our transition package invests in you, offering $1,800 to support your move, with $1,000 specifically allotted for orientation pay during your first two weeks.
To join our team, you must possess a valid Class A CDL, be at least 21 years old, and maintain a safe driving record. Applicants must also pass a background check, a clean drug test, and a clean Clearinghouse result. While 4+ months of driving experience is required, we are currently waiving this for recent graduates through our special offer.
If you are interested in learning more about our pay packages or benefits, please call 1-866-725-5083 to speak with a recruiter. Applications are accepted until the deadline of May 31, 2026.
