Get The Much Needed Work-Life Balance Working As A Flatbed Truck Driver For Modular Transportation

We believe a great work-life balance is paramount to general work productivity. Because of this, our drivers get more home time, with local drivers home every night, while drivers with OTR and regional routes are typically home every weekend.

Regional and Local Flatbed Truckers Work-Life Balance

Both regional and local flatbed drivers tend to spend the weekends at home! We insist that our business model stay highly adaptable so that you can keep bringing in money even when you’re on the road. This way, you’ll have more time to spend with loved ones, get the kids ready for bed, and even have time for hobbies!
