Dump Truck & Hotshot Flatbed Driver — Orlando FL, Hiring Florida Drivers

We are hiring drivers in Florida for an operation based in Orlando, FL, running two pieces of equipment: a dump truck and a hotshot pulling a 30 ft flatbed trailer. Both trucks are domiciled in Orlando, FL. You tell us which one you want to run — or both, if you are qualified for both.

The trucks are in Orlando, FL, so if you are already in Florida you are close to the work. If you are elsewhere in the state and would need to move to run out of Orlando, we cover that travel — we would rather pay to get the right driver here than settle for whoever is nearest.

Pay is based on your experience. That is the honest answer and it is the whole answer — a driver with ten years on a tri-axle and a clean record does not get quoted the same as a driver who just cleared twelve months, and the dump truck and the hotshot are not paid on the same structure either. So we are not going to print a range here that would be wrong for most of the people reading it. Tell us your real experience on the form below and we will quote you a real number on the call.

What moves your number up: verifiable years in the seat, time specifically on a dump truck or pulling a flatbed, a clean MVR, and whether you are qualified to run both trucks rather than one. If you can cover both the dump truck and the hotshot, say so — that is worth more to us and it is reflected in the offer.

W-2 or 1099 — your choice. Some drivers want the withholding handled and the benefits path; others want the higher gross and to manage their own taxes. We run both, and it is a question on the form below, not something we decide for you.

Equipment and licensing: the dump truck requires a CDL-B (a CDL-A covers it too). The hotshot with the 30 ft flatbed requires a CDL-A because of the combined weight rating. If you hold a CDL-B only, you are eligible for the dump truck seat.

Running in Florida: gross weight tops out at 80,000 lbs (88,000 lbs on some designated state roads with permit), with 20,000 lbs single axle, 34,000 lbs tandem (increased on some state roads). Axle weight is the number that matters on a loaded dump truck — it is what puts you over a scale long before gross does.

Flatbed dimensions and permits in Florida: legal width is 102 inches and legal height is 13'6". FDOT Permits Office. Florida is accommodating to oversize loads with wide highways. Online permits available. Escort requirements for extra-wide loads.

Tolls: Extensive toll road network: Florida Turnpike, SunPass roads, I-75 Alley, Beachline (SR-528), Selmon Expressway. SunPass transponder essential for commercial vehicles.

Florida specifics worth knowing: Extensive toll road network requires SunPass or compatible transponder; Agricultural inspection stations at Georgia border check all northbound produce; Hurricane evacuation routes may restrict or redirect truck traffic during storm season.

How this works: fill in the form below — it takes under a minute and needs no resume. We review it, and if it is a fit we call you to talk through the seat, the pay for that role, and the travel arrangement. We confirm the fleet and the equipment details on that call once we have verified your experience and record.
