About System Transport
System Transport has been hauling what builds America since 1972. We combine the resources of a large company with the feel of a small one, keeping the country running with great 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 maintaining a culture where drivers are valued partners.
About the Role
We are seeking experienced CDL-A flatbed truck drivers for regional routes out of our Kansas City, MO terminal (Division 290). As a driver, you will be responsible for transporting heavy and specialized cargo across the western region of America. This role offers a schedule designed for work-life balance, with most weekends off for a 34-hour reset.
Our fleet consists of modern flatbed trucks meticulously maintained for your safety and comfort. Every tractor is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including lane departure and forward collision warning systems, hard brake monitoring, and satellite communication devices. We ensure that no truck leaves the shop until it is 100% ready for the road.
For those new to the industry, we are currently accepting applications from recent CDL-A graduates through May 31, 2026. Qualified applicants with a valid license may receive training to start their driving career with us during this special period. Drivers must be physically able to lift a 90-pound tarp onto a 5-foot high platform twice, as flatbed drivers tarp approximately 70% of our loads.
Hiring Process & Application
To join our team, please submit your application to begin the hiring process. All candidates must meet standard hiring requirements, including a valid Class A CDL, being 21 years of age or older, and passing a background check, drug test, and clearinghouse result. We also require a safe driving record and limit applicants to no more than six jobs in the last three years.

Our Commitment to You
Changing jobs is never easy, which is why we offer a $1,800 transition package to invest in you. This includes $1,000 allotted for orientation during your first two weeks, allowing you to focus on driving while we handle the rest.
We are committed to fair pay and equal opportunity for all employees. System Transport is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not allow pets, but we do allow riders aged 7 and up after 90 days of safe driving. Our award-winning driver portal provides 24/7/365 support, real-time updates, and access to pay and trip data.
