Fastex Logistics tractor unit

Fastex Logistics is hiring Class A CDL drivers who live in Altamonte Springs and the surrounding Seminole County communities. Our terminal is at 9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, in the industrial corridor south of Orlando International Airport. From the SR 436 and I-4 interchange it is roughly 25 miles, and most of our Altamonte Springs drivers make the run in about 35 minutes on SR 417.

Every seat here is a company driver position. No lease, no deposit, no escrow account and no truck note in your name. You run late-model company equipment, settle weekly between $3,000 and $5,000 depending on trailer type and lane assignment, and qualify for a $3,000 sign-on bonus. Your personal vehicle stays behind our gate while you are out.

The Central Florida fleet runs five trailer types: flatbed, stepdeck, lowboy, conestoga and reefer, plus a seasonal bee hauling operation. We match assignments to experience we can verify. If heavy haul is where you want to end up, you get there by building a record on open deck freight with us first.

We also hire out of Longwood, Casselberry, Winter Springs, Maitland, Lake Mary, Apopka, Oviedo and Sanford. Home time is planned around where you actually live, so drivers on the north side of the metro are not routed through Orlando on their way back to the house.

Benefits
  • Weekly settlements, $3,000 to $5,000
  • Up to 32% of gross
  • $3,000 sign-on bonus
  • No deposit, no lease, no escrow
  • Flexible home time built around Seminole County
  • $1,000 referral bonus
  • Up to $500 for clean DOT inspections
  • Dispatch and roadside support 24/7
  • Late-model tractors and trailers
  • Fleet fuel discount
  • Claims, traffic citation and attorney assistance
  • OTR and regional lanes
  • Freight in all 48 states
  • Dispatchers who answer the phone and know your name
  • Company-owned terminal with an in-house maintenance shop
  • Free gated parking for your personal vehicle
Requirements
  • Valid Class A CDL
  • No preventable accidents in the last 2 years
  • No more than 3 moving violations
  • 2 years of verifiable Class A experience
  • Ability to pass DOT physical and drug screen

Meeting the minimums gets you a conversation with a recruiter, not an automatic offer. We look at where you have run, what commodities you have handled and how you have taken care of the equipment. If something on your record needs explaining, explain it on the call rather than leaving us to guess.

Drivers who come in on van or reefer freight can move to flatbed once they are here, then to stepdeck and lowboy as their securement record proves out. We would rather promote a driver who already knows how our terminal runs than fill a heavy haul seat from the outside.

QUICK APPLY

Two minutes, nothing to upload. A recruiter from our Central Florida terminal will call you to go over pay, trailer type and home time.

    Equipment You Can
    Be Proud to Drive

    We run Freightliner, Volvo, Kenworth and Western Star tractors and keep the fleet on a replacement cycle instead of driving units into the ground. The trailer mix is wide enough that we can put you on freight you actually want to haul, and every unit is serviced by our own shop at the terminal. Below is what you would be pulling out of Central Florida.

    Flatbed trailer loaded with steel for a Central Florida job site

    Flatbed

    Flatbed is open deck freight with no walls and no roof, and the load is held down by work you do yourself. Out of Central Florida that means structural steel, lumber, pipe, drywall, roofing material and palletized building product headed for job sites along the I-4 corridor and across the Southeast. Because the freight is exposed, securement sits with the driver and is regulated under FMCSA rules in 49 CFR Part 393. You will work with straps, chains, binders, edge protection and tarps depending on the commodity. Against dry van, flatbed trades physical work for far less time waiting at a dock. Most pickups and deliveries happen in yards or on job sites instead of appointment-based receiving doors, so detention is lower and the day is more predictable. Flatbed is the entry point into our open deck operation, and the securement habits you build here are exactly what qualify you for stepdeck and lowboy later.

    Stepdeck trailer hauling construction equipment

    Stepdeck

    A stepdeck, also called a drop deck, is an open trailer with an upper deck over the tractor and a lower main deck behind it. The lower deck sits at roughly 42 inches instead of the 60 inches you get on a standard flatbed, which buys about 18 inches of usable cargo height. That clearance lets a load close to 10 feet tall move inside the 13 foot 6 inch legal limit without an oversize permit. Typical freight is compact excavators, skid steers, tractors, scissor lifts, crated machinery and tanks. Construction and agricultural equipment moves steadily through Central Florida, and a lot of it is simply too tall for a flatbed. Securement follows the same standards as flatbed, with extra attention paid to ramp loading and how weight sits across the deck. Some of our stepdecks carry integrated ramps for drive-on freight.

    Lowboy trailer carrying a tracked excavator

    Lowboy

    Lowboy trailers carry the heavy equipment that will not clear height limits on any other open deck. The well rides between 18 and 24 inches off the road surface, which handles machine heights of roughly 11 to 12 feet. Most of our units use a removable gooseneck so equipment can be driven or winched on from the front. Loads are excavators, dozers, graders, cranes and other tracked or wheeled machinery. Plenty of them exceed legal weight or dimension limits and move on state permits, and some Florida routes add escort requirements or time of day restrictions. The seat calls for a working understanding of axle weight distribution, permit conditions and where a machine needs to sit on the deck. Lowboy pays the best of anything in our Central Florida operation, and we fill it from drivers with verified flatbed or stepdeck time.

    Conestoga trailer with the rolling tarp system retracted

    Conestoga

    A conestoga is a flatbed or stepdeck fitted with a retractable tarp system on a rolling frame. The canopy slides back along the trailer to open the deck for side or overhead loading, then closes over the freight. It replaces manual tarping. A conventional tarp job runs 30 to 45 minutes and accounts for a large share of flatbed injuries, most of them falls from the deck. A conestoga opens and closes in a few minutes and you stay on the ground the whole time. The freight is product that needs weather protection but still requires open deck access: machinery, coiled steel, packaged building materials and finished goods. Securement requirements do not change, because the canopy protects the load but restrains nothing. For a driver who wants open deck variety without the tarping, this is the trailer to ask about.

    Refrigerated reefer trailer used on Florida temperature controlled freight

    Reefer

    Reefer assignments move temperature controlled freight in refrigerated trailers. Out of Central Florida that is mostly produce, frozen and refrigerated food, beverages and pharmaceutical product running through Florida distribution centers and north on I-75 and I-95. The work is easier on your back than open deck, but the load never stops needing attention. You verify the set point against the bill of lading, confirm the trailer is pre-cooled before loading, watch the unit in transit and keep the temperature records clean. Food loads fall under the FDA Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food rule, and a documented temperature excursion is one of the most common reasons a load gets rejected. Refrigerated receivers hold you to fixed appointment windows, so the schedule is tighter and detention shows up more often than it does on open deck. In exchange, the volume holds steady all year.

    Trailer loaded with netted honeybee hives for pollination transport

    Bee Hauling

    Bee hauling moves live commercial honeybee colonies for agricultural pollination, and out of Florida that means migrating hives across the Southeast. We have been doing it for more than eight years, and the measure of a good trip is that the colonies arrive healthy. Live freight sets its own rules. Securement is standard strapping paired with heavy duty netting so the stacked hives stay intact, and you manage airflow by keeping the truck rolling through the heat of the day so the colonies do not cook. The clock belongs to the bees rather than a warehouse. Loading and unloading happen at night or at first light while the colonies are dormant, which is an unusual schedule and takes a driver who shows up when they said they would. The payoff is farm to farm running with no dock detention at either end.

    Our strong points

    Our own terminal. Our own team.
    Nothing farmed out.

    Most carriers rent yard space and send their trucks to whichever vendor shop is cheapest that week. We built the whole operation ourselves, and it is 35 minutes from Altamonte Springs.

    FAQs

    Questions People Ask Us

    How far is the terminal from Altamonte Springs?

    About 25 miles. Drivers coming from Altamonte Springs, Longwood or Casselberry usually pick up SR 417 and run south, which is roughly a 35 minute drive outside of rush hour. I-4 through downtown works too if the traffic is behaving. You only make the drive at the start and end of a run, and your car sits behind our gate in between.

    Do I have to live in Altamonte Springs to apply?

    No. We hire across Seminole and Orange County, including Winter Springs, Maitland, Oviedo, Lake Mary, Apopka and Sanford. What matters is that you can get to the terminal to start a run and that home time makes sense for where you live.

    Do you hire drivers with less than two years of experience?

    Our standard is two years of Class A experience. The application asks whether you are over or under that mark, so put your real number in. Under two years is not an automatic no, but it turns into a longer conversation with the recruiter about where you have run and what you have hauled.

    Is this an owner-operator or lease purchase program?

    Neither. You drive our equipment as a company driver. No deposit, no lease payment, no escrow and no note in your name.

    How is the $3,000 sign-on bonus paid?

    Ask the recruiter on your call. The terms depend on trailer type and start date, and they will walk you through the full schedule before you commit to anything.

    Do I need flatbed experience to get hired?

    No. Class A time on a dry van or reefer is enough to start a conversation. If you want to move to the open deck side, flatbed is where you begin. Stepdeck and lowboy come after you have shown you can secure a load properly.

    What endorsements do you want to see?

    Class A is the requirement. Anything beyond that widens the freight we can put you on, so mention what you hold when the recruiter calls.

    Can I park my personal vehicle at the terminal?

    Yes, and it costs you nothing. Parking at the yard is gated and there is no charge to leave your car there while you are out on a run.

    How do I apply for a CDL driver job in Altamonte Springs, FL?

    Fill out the quick apply form above and a recruiter will call you. It takes about two minutes and there is nothing to upload.
