Fastex Logistics tractor unit driven by Class A CDL drivers based in Winter Park, FL

Fastex Logistics is hiring Class A CDL drivers who live in Winter Park and the surrounding communities. Our terminal is at 9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, in the industrial corridor south of Orlando International Airport. From Winter Park it is a straight run down Semoran Boulevard, about 25 to 30 minutes outside of rush hour. Drivers also commute in from Maitland, Baldwin Park, Goldenrod, Casselberry, Altamonte Springs and Oviedo.

Every seat here is a company driver seat. No lease, no deposit, no escrow, and no truck payment coming out of your settlement. You drive our equipment and we pay to maintain it. Weekly pay runs $3,000 to $5,000 depending on the trailer you pull and the lanes you are assigned, and new hires receive a $3,000 sign-on bonus. Your personal vehicle stays behind a gate at the terminal while you are out.

The fleet runs flatbed, stepdeck, lowboy, conestoga and reefer, plus seasonal bee hauling. Assignments are matched to what you have actually operated, and we verify it. If heavy haul is the goal, the route there starts on open deck freight and opens up once you have built a record with us.

Benefits
  • Weekly pay of $3,000 to $5,000
  • Up to 32% of gross
  • $3,000 sign-on bonus
  • No deposit, no lease, no escrow
  • Home time you can plan around
  • $1,000 referral bonus
  • Up to $500 for clean inspections
  • Dispatch and road support available 24/7
  • Late model trucks and specialized trailers
  • Fuel discount network
  • Support with claims, traffic citations and attorney referrals
  • OTR and regional lanes
  • Freight in all 48 states
  • Experienced dispatchers who answer the phone
  • Company owned terminal with an in-house maintenance shop
  • Free secured parking for personal vehicles
Requirements
  • Valid Class A CDL
  • Two years of verifiable Class A driving experience
  • No accidents in the past two years
  • No more than three moving violations

Meeting the list gets you a call back. What happens after that comes down to where you have run and what you have hauled. If you are close on the experience requirement, put your real numbers on the application. We would rather talk it through with you than screen you out on a form.

Drivers who start on flatbed and prove they can secure a load properly move up to stepdeck and lowboy work, which pays more. That is how most of our heavy haul drivers got there. They came from inside the fleet, not off the street.

    Equipment You Can
    Be Proud to Drive

    We run Freightliner, Volvo, Kenworth and Western Star tractors, and we spec our trailers around the freight rather than forcing the freight onto whatever is in the yard. Here is what you would actually be pulling out of our terminal, and what the work looks like on each one.

    Flatbed trailer assignment for CDL drivers in Winter Park, FL

    Flatbed

    Flatbed is open deck work. No walls, no roof, and the load is your responsibility the moment the straps go on. Out of Central Florida you will haul structural steel, lumber, pipe, drywall, roofing bundles and palletized building material to job sites along the I-4 corridor and up through the Southeast. Securement is governed by FMCSA standards in 49 CFR Part 393, so you will work with straps, chains, binders, edge protection and tarps depending on the commodity. The trade against dry van is straightforward: more physical work, far less time waiting at a dock, since most stops are yards and job sites rather than appointment doors. Flatbed is also where our open deck drivers start. The securement habits you build here are what qualify you for stepdeck and lowboy later.

    Stepdeck trailer assignment for Class A CDL drivers near Winter Park, FL

    Stepdeck

    A stepdeck, also called a drop deck, is an open trailer with a short upper deck over the tractor and a lower main deck behind it. The main deck sits around 42 inches off the ground against 60 inches on a standard flatbed, which buys roughly 18 additional inches of cargo height. In practice that is the difference between a legal load and a permitted one. Freight in the 10 foot range clears the 13 foot 6 inch height limit without an oversize permit. Typical loads are compact excavators, skid steers, tractors, scissor lifts, tanks and crated machinery, all of which move steadily through Central Florida on the construction and agricultural side. Securement standards match flatbed, with added attention to ramp loading and weight distribution across the deck. Several of our stepdecks carry integrated ramps for drive-on freight.

    Lowboy heavy haul trailer operated by Fastex Logistics drivers in Central Florida

    Lowboy

    Lowboy carries the machines that are too tall for anything else on an open deck. The well rides 18 to 24 inches off the pavement, which allows equipment heights in the 11 to 12 foot range. Most units use a removable gooseneck so the machine can be driven or winched on from the front. You will haul excavators, dozers, graders, cranes and other tracked or wheeled iron. A good share of those loads exceed legal weight or dimension limits and move on state permits, and certain Florida routes come with escorts or restricted travel hours. The job asks you to understand axle weight distribution, permit conditions and where the machine sits on the deck. Lowboy is the highest paid seat we run, and we fill it from drivers with verified flatbed or stepdeck time rather than hiring into it.

    Conestoga rolling tarp trailer used on Fastex Logistics open deck driver assignments

    Conestoga

    A conestoga is a flatbed or stepdeck fitted with a rolling tarp system on a sliding frame. The canopy pulls back to open the deck for side or overhead loading, then closes over the freight once you are loaded. It replaces hand tarping, and that matters more than it sounds on paper. A manual tarp job runs 30 to 45 minutes and sits behind a large share of flatbed injuries, most of them falls from the deck. A conestoga opens and closes in a few minutes with your feet on the ground. Freight is generally product that needs weather protection but still has to load from the side or the top: machinery, coiled steel, packaged building materials and finished goods. Securement rules do not change. The canopy keeps rain off the load, it does not hold the load down.

    Refrigerated reefer trailer on a Central Florida CDL driver assignment

    Reefer

    Reefer assignments move temperature controlled freight in refrigerated trailers. Out of Central Florida that means produce, frozen and refrigerated food, beverages and pharmaceutical product running through regional distribution centers and north on I-75 and I-95. The physical work is lighter than open deck, but the monitoring never stops. You verify the set point against the bill of lading, confirm the trailer is pre-cooled before it loads, watch the unit run in transit and keep a clean temperature record. 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 receiver rejects a load. Refrigerated docks work on fixed appointment windows, so schedules are tighter and detention shows up more often than on open deck. Volume holds steady year round.

    Bee hauling trailer moving live honeybee colonies for Florida pollination work

    Bee Hauling

    Bee hauling moves live commercial honeybee colonies for agricultural pollination, and Florida is a starting point for hives that travel across the Southeast. We have been running these loads for more than eight years, and the only measure that counts is whether the colonies arrive healthy. Live freight changes the rules. Hives are strapped like ordinary cargo and then covered with heavy duty netting to hold the stack together. You also manage airflow by keeping the truck rolling through the heat of the day so the colonies do not overheat. The schedule follows the bees rather than a warehouse calendar. Loading and unloading happen at night or right at dawn while the hives are dormant. It is an unusual clock, and the drivers who take it get farm to farm runs with no dock detention at all.

    Our terminal. Our shop.
    Our people.

    Most carriers rent yard space and send their trucks to whichever shop is cheapest that week. We built ours.

    FAQs

    Questions Winter Park Drivers Ask Us

    How far is the terminal from Winter Park?

    About 15 miles. You take Semoran Boulevard south past Orlando International Airport to our yard at 9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, which is a 25 to 30 minute drive outside of rush hour. Drivers also run in from Maitland, Baldwin Park, Goldenrod, Casselberry, Altamonte Springs and Oviedo.

    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 expect a longer conversation with the recruiter about where you have run and what you have hauled.

    Is this an owner-operator or a lease program?

    Neither. You drive our equipment. There is no deposit, no lease payment and no escrow account.

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

    The schedule depends on your trailer type and start date. Your recruiter walks you through the full terms on the call, 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 the conversation. If open deck is where you want to end up, flatbed is the entry point, and stepdeck and lowboy follow once 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 assign you, so mention it on your call.

    Can I leave my personal vehicle at the terminal?

    Yes. Secured parking for personal vehicles is included, which is why most of our Winter Park drivers drive themselves in rather than arranging a ride.

    How do I apply for a CDL driver job in Winter Park, FL?

    Fill out the quick apply form above and a recruiter will call you. Two minutes, no uploads, and no account to create.
