Fastex Logistics hires Class A CDL drivers who live in Lake Nona and the surrounding southeast Orlando neighborhoods. Our terminal is at 9640 Sidney Hayes Road, in the industrial corridor west of Orlando International Airport. From Laureate Park, Eagle Creek, Northlake Park, Storey Park, Randal Park or anywhere else inside the 32827 and 32832 ZIP codes, that is roughly a 20 minute drive by way of Boggy Creek Road or SR 417. It is the only yard you report to.

These are company driver jobs. No lease, no deposit, no escrow, and no owner-operator conversion waiting at the end of a term. You drive our equipment. Weekly settlements run between $3,000 and $5,000 depending on the trailer you are assigned and the lanes you take, and new hires qualify for a $3,000 sign-on bonus. Your personal vehicle stays behind a gate at the terminal while you are out on the road.

Five trailer types work out of this yard: flatbed, stepdeck, lowboy, conestoga and reefer. Assignment depends on what you have actually hauled and can verify, not on what you would like to try. Drivers who want heavy haul start on flatbed and move up once they have built a record with us. Lake Nona sits between the SR 528 Beachline and the SR 417 GreeneWay, with Florida’s Turnpike and I-4 close behind, so the run from the yard to an interstate lane is short in either direction.

Benefits
  • Weekly competitive pay
  • Up to 32% of gross
  • $3,000 sign-on bonus
  • No deposit and no escrow
  • Flexible home time
  • $1,000 referral program
  • Up to $500 for clean inspections
  • Dispatch support 24 hours a day
  • New trucks and trailers
  • Fuel discount program
  • Claims, traffic ticket and attorney assistance
  • OTR and regional lanes
  • Authority to run all 48 states
  • Experienced dispatchers who answer the phone
  • Company-owned terminal with maintenance shop
  • Free secure parking for personal vehicles
Requirements
  • Valid Class A CDL
  • Two years of verifiable Class A experience
  • No preventable accidents in the past two years
  • No more than three moving violations
  • Current DOT medical card and a clean pre-employment screen

Most Lake Nona drivers who start with us on flatbed move onto stepdeck inside a year, and lowboy after that. The progression is not automatic. It depends on your securement record and what our safety team sees on your inspections. Ask the recruiter what that path looks like for the experience you already have.

If you are coming off dry van or reefer and have never tarped a load, say so on the call. We will train it. What we will not do is put a brand new open deck driver on a permitted lowboy load and hope it works out.

    Flatbed trailer used on Lake Nona area CDL driver jobs

    Flatbed

    Flatbed is open deck work with no walls and no roof. Out of this terminal the freight is structural steel, lumber, pipe, drywall, roofing material and palletized building products headed to job sites across Central Florida and up through the Southeast. Southeast Orlando keeps that volume steady on its own. Lake Nona is still building out, and the residential and Medical City expansion east of Narcoossee Road pulls building material in constantly. Because the load is exposed, securement is your responsibility, and FMCSA sets the standard under 49 CFR Part 393. You will work with straps, chains, binders, edge protection and tarps depending on the commodity. The trade against dry van is a real one: more physical work, far less time waiting at a dock. Most pickups and deliveries happen in yards or on job sites rather than at an appointment door, so detention is lower. Flatbed is where our open deck drivers start. The securement habits you build here are what qualify you for stepdeck and lowboy later.

    Stepdeck trailer in the Fastex Logistics Central Florida fleet

    Stepdeck

    A stepdeck, also called a drop deck, is an open trailer with a raised front deck over the tractor and a lower main deck behind it. The lower deck sits at roughly 42 inches against 60 inches on a standard flatbed, which buys you about 18 more inches of cargo height. That is usually enough to move a load close to 10 feet tall inside the 13 foot 6 inch legal limit without pulling an oversize permit. Typical freight is compact excavators, skid steers, tractors, scissor lifts, crated machinery and tanks. Central Florida produces a constant supply of construction and agricultural equipment that will not clear on a flatbed, so the volume is there year round. Securement rules are the same 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 hauling heavy equipment out of Orlando

    Lowboy

    Lowboy carries the heavy equipment that will not clear height limits on any other open deck. The well sits 18 to 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, and many of them exceed legal weight or dimension limits and travel on state permits. Some Florida routes add escort requirements or time of day restrictions on top of that. You need working knowledge of axle weight distribution, you need to read permit conditions correctly, and you need to know where a machine belongs on the deck. Lowboy is the highest paid seat we have in Orlando. We fill it from drivers with verified flatbed or stepdeck time, not from applications.

    Conestoga trailer with retractable tarp system

    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 so the deck can be loaded from the side or overhead, then closes over the load. It replaces manual tarping. A conventional tarp job takes 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 do it standing on the ground. Freight is generally product that needs weather protection but still needs open deck access: machinery, coiled steel, packaged building materials and finished goods. Securement requirements do not change. The canopy keeps weather off the load and restrains nothing. For a driver, conestoga gives you open deck freight without spending your career climbing around on a trailer in the Florida sun.

    Refrigerated reefer trailer for temperature controlled freight

    Reefer

    Reefer assignments move temperature controlled freight in refrigerated trailers. Out of our Lake Nona area terminal 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 physical work is lighter than open deck, but you are monitoring the load for the entire trip. 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 temperature records. 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 and turns into a claim. Refrigerated receivers hold you to fixed appointment windows, so scheduling is tighter and detention happens more often than it does on open deck. Volume stays steady all year.

    Bee hauling trailer transporting live honeybee colonies

    Bee Hauling

    Bee hauling moves live commercial honeybee colonies for agricultural pollination. Out of Florida that means migrating hives around the Southeast on a schedule set by bloom dates rather than by warehouse appointments. We have been running this freight for more than eight years and the colonies arrive healthy. Live cargo changes how you work. Securement uses standard strapping paired with heavy duty netting so the stacked hives stay intact. You also manage airflow, which in practice means keeping the truck moving during daylight hours so the colonies do not overheat. Loading and unloading happen at night or at first light while the bees are dormant, so your hours look nothing like a dock schedule. It takes a reliable driver. In exchange you run farm to farm and never sit in a dock queue.

    Our strong points

    Our own terminal. Our own team.
    No outsourcing.

    Most carriers hiring in this market rent yard space and send their maintenance out to a vendor. We own the yard and we fix our own trucks.

    FAQs

    Questions People Ask Us

    Where do Lake Nona drivers report for work?

    Our terminal at 9640 Sidney Hayes Road, in the industrial corridor west of Orlando International Airport. From most of Lake Nona that is about 20 minutes by way of Boggy Creek Road or SR 417. It is the only yard you report to, and your truck stays there between runs.

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

    Our standard requirement is two years of Class A experience. The application asks whether you are over or under two years, so put your real number in. Under two years is not an automatic no, but it will be 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 as a company driver. There is no deposit, no lease payment and no escrow, and nothing converts to a lease later on.

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

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

    Do I need flatbed experience to get hired?

    No. If you have Class A time on a dry van or reefer we will talk to you. If you want to move onto the open deck side, flatbed is where you start. Stepdeck and lowboy come later, once you have shown you can secure a load properly.

    What endorsements do you want?

    Class A is the requirement. Any additional endorsements widen the range of freight we can put you on, so they are worth mentioning on your call.

    How much home time do drivers based near Lake Nona get?

    That depends on whether you run OTR or regional, and you set it with your dispatcher. Because you live inside the Orlando metro and the yard is here, getting you home is a routing question rather than a repositioning problem. Bring your specific needs to the recruiter call and get them agreed before you start.

    Can I park my car at the terminal?

    Yes. Secure parking for personal vehicles at the terminal is included at no cost, so you can leave your car behind a gate while you are out.
