Why Drive for Smokey Point?

At Smokey Point Distributing, drivers aren't an afterthought - they're the reason the company exists. Founded by drivers 40 years ago, SPD was built on firsthand experience of what it takes to succeed behind the wheel, and that mindset still shapes how the company treats its team today. As a flatbed driver, you'll haul unique freight, run modern equipment, and get the respect and earning potential a professional deserves.

CDL-A Team Driver Job Overview

  • Hit the road with the right partner. Bring your pre-existing team or let Smokey Point match you with a compatible teammate based on location, schedule, and lifestyle for a smooth, long-term fit.
  • Competitive base team pay. Teams earn a base pay of 68-74 CPM combined (34-37 CPM per driver) for all miles on every load.
  • Higher earning potential for teams. Estimated annual earnings range from $85,000 to $128,000 per driver ($170,000 - $256,000 per team), including base pay and bonuses, based on 2026 year-to-date earnings of full-time team drivers.*
  • Freight that rewards the skill. Haul unique flatbed freight that puts your experience to work.
  • Modern trucks, road-ready comfort. Drive late-model Kenworth and Volvo trucks equipped with APUs, inverters, and refrigerators built for comfort and reliability on long hauls.

Over Dimensional Flatbed Driver Overview

  • Pay that rewards specialized drivers. Earn a base of 59-64 CPM based on verified flatbed experience. In 2026, our solo OD drivers are on pace to earn an average of $84,000, and our top 20% average $110,000 (year-to-date gross pay, projected to year-end).*
  • Bonus miles that add up. Earn a monthly performance bonus of 1-4 CPM on all miles, earning 1 CPM for each 1,000 miles you run over your monthly mileage minimum.
  • Dedicated lanes that keep you moving. Run dedicated lanes with some lanes running to Ontario, Canada, with predictable routes built around a dedicated account.
  • Home time you can count on. Run 2-3 weeks at a time with 3.5-4 days home to reset and recharge before your next run.

Extras That Add Up

  • Orientation pay ($1,750 per driver, paid in two installments)
  • Layover pay ($150/day if no load or 24hr downtime)
  • Detention pay ($20/hr after 4 hrs, max 8 hrs per day)
  • Clean inspection bonus ($75 Level 1, $50 Level 2, $25 Level 3)
  • Driver referral bonus ($1,500 per hired team, $500 per hired solo driver)

  • Insurance: Employees (and their families) are covered by medical, dental, and vision insurance. HSA/FSA and prescription drug coverage are also available.
