Why Drive for Central Oregon Truck Company?

Central Oregon Truck Company was built by flatbed drivers-and it's still run by flatbed drivers today. Since 1992, COTC has focused exclusively on flatbed freight, building a reputation for strong pay, safe operations, and drivers who know their craft. Now, we're hiring in your local area!

That focus shows. COTC consistently earns top CSA scores, keeps freight moving, and has been named one of the Best Fleets to Drive For(R) for eleven years running. If you're an experienced OTR driver ready to step into flatbed-or a flatbed pro looking for a company that does it right-COTC delivers.

Flatbed Truck Driver Job Overview

  • Top-tier pay with real guarantees. Top drivers earn up to $127,000 per year, with 60CPM base pay plus up to 4CPM in performance incentives and a $1,350 minimum for qualifying weeks.
  • Loyalty pay that starts immediately. Earn up to 5.5CPM in loyalty pay, accruing from day one-rewarding consistency and commitment, not just miles.
  • Extra pay for the work you do. Get paid for the details with $75 tarp pay and $100 dwell pay, so your effort doesn't go unpaid.
  • Home time that lets you reset. Run OTR with home time every two weeks, totaling five days per month, giving you real time to recharge.
  • Flatbed training for experienced OTR drivers. No flatbed experience? No problem. Experienced OTR drivers can learn flatbed at orientation with hands-on training and support.
  • Paid orientation, start with confidence. Earn $1,250 in orientation pay, so you're paid from the very start.
