- $120,000 annual base salary.
- Quarterly performance bonuses of up to $10,000.

Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for a leader who operates with an ownership mentality, takes responsibility for results and understands that a successful business is built on accountability, integrity, profitability and exceptional customer service.

- Valid Class A CDL with a clean MVR and no serious violations
- Minimum two years of verified experience hauling oversize or overweight loads
- Familiarity with DOT regulations, Hours of Service rules, and logbook compliance

Tips for Your Heavy Haul Driver Job Search
List every endorsement on your resume
Heavy haul employers scan for specific CDL endorsements before reading anything else. List your Class A CDL, Hazmat, Tanker, and any state-issued oversize or overweight permits prominently at the top, not buried in a summary paragraph.
Document your longest and heaviest loads
Hiring managers want concrete proof you've moved serious freight. Include the heaviest loads you've hauled, the states you've operated in, and the equipment you've used. Specific numbers and equipment model names make your resume stand out from generic CDL resumes.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists heavy haul driver openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by equipment type when searching
Heavy haul is not one job. Lowboy, RGN, step-deck, and flatbed roles all attract different candidates. When searching, use the equipment type as a keyword so you're only reviewing openings where your experience is a direct match.
Prepare for a road test before your interview
Most heavy haul employers require a pre-hire road test, often before or immediately after the formal interview. Know your pre-trip inspection cold, practice backing a loaded trailer, and confirm in advance what equipment the company uses so you're not surprised.
Negotiate home-time terms before accepting
Pay and home time are the two biggest points of negotiation for heavy haul drivers. Clarify the schedule in writing before you sign an offer. Ask specifically about layover pay, detention pay, and whether permit coordination time counts toward your hours.
Heavy Haul Driver Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most heavy haul drivers?
Warren CAT, Total Quality Logistics (TQL), and Holt are hiring the most heavy haul drivers right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, Arizona, and Alabama, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Activity tends to be highest around large infrastructure, energy, and construction projects.
How many heavy haul driver jobs are remote?
About 13% of heavy haul driver openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how few driving roles can be performed off-site. The exceptions are dispatch coordination, route planning, and permit management positions that sit within the broader heavy haul operation but do not require physical driving.
How do you become a heavy haul driver?
Start by earning a Class A CDL through an accredited truck driving program and passing the required knowledge and skills tests. Build general flatbed or freight experience first, then pursue specialized training on lowboy, RGN, or step-deck equipment. Obtain a Hazmat endorsement and research state-specific oversize permit requirements for the regions where you plan to operate.
Can you get hired as a heavy haul driver with little experience?
Some carriers will hire drivers with a Class A CDL and general flatbed experience, then train them on oversize equipment internally. Your best path is to emphasize any load securement, wide-load escort experience, or time spent on construction sites. Starting with a regional carrier that hauls agricultural or construction equipment is a common entry point before moving into full heavy haul roles.
What does the heavy haul driver interview process look like?
Most heavy haul interviews include a phone screen to verify your CDL class and endorsements, a formal interview covering your load history and DOT compliance knowledge, and a pre-hire road test or yard test on the company's equipment. Some employers also pull your PSP report and require a drug screen and physical before extending an offer. The full process typically runs across multiple days.
Where can I find and apply to heavy haul driver jobs?
You can find and apply to heavy haul driver jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search for roles that match your endorsements and equipment experience, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
