Fastex Logistics hires Class A CDL drivers who live in Lake Mary and across Seminole County, including Heathrow, Longwood, Sanford, Winter Springs and Altamonte Springs. Our terminal is at 9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, in the industrial corridor south of Orlando International Airport. From Lake Mary Blvd it is a straight run down SR 417, which is why most of our Seminole County drivers skip I-4 through downtown entirely.

These are company driver jobs. No lease, no deposit, no escrow. You drive late-model company equipment, you are paid weekly in a range of $3,000 to $5,000 depending on trailer type and lane assignment, and there is a $3,000 sign-on bonus. Your personal vehicle sits in a secured lot at the terminal while you are out on a run.

The Central Florida fleet runs five trailer types: flatbed, stepdeck, lowboy, conestoga and reefer. We assign seats against verified experience rather than against whatever happens to need covering that week, so you will know what you are getting on before you accept anything. Drivers who want heavy haul can move into it once they have built a record with us on open deck freight.

If you meet those and you are based anywhere in the Lake Mary area, the next step is a phone call with a recruiter. That call covers where you have run, what you have hauled, which trailer you want to be on and what the pay actually works out to on that lane. Nothing gets decided before you have the numbers in front of you.

Drivers who start on flatbed here often move to stepdeck or lowboy within a year or two. We would rather promote someone already in the fleet than put a stranger on heavy haul, so the path is open if you want it.

    Equipment You Can
    Be Proud to Drive

    We run Freightliner, Volvo, Kenworth and Western Star tractors, and we buy trailers to match the freight instead of making the freight fit whatever is sitting in the yard. Tell the recruiter which of the five trailer types you want to be on. If your record supports it, that is where we put you.

    Flatbed trailer used on Lake Mary CDL driver assignments

    Flatbed

    Flatbed is open deck freight with no walls and no roof. What moves through Central Florida is mostly structural steel, lumber, pipe, drywall, roofing material and palletized building products headed for job sites around Seminole County and up through the Southeast. Because nothing encloses the load, securement is your responsibility, and it is governed by FMCSA rules under 49 CFR Part 393. In practice that means straps, chains, binders, edge protection and tarping, depending on the commodity. Compared with 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 rather than at appointment-only receiving doors, so detention stays low. Flatbed is where our open deck operation begins. The securement habits you build here are the same ones stepdeck and lowboy will ask for later.

    Stepdeck trailer on a Central Florida open deck run

    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 against 60 inches on a standard flatbed, which gives you about 18 more inches of usable cargo height. That clearance lets a load of roughly 10 feet ride inside the 13 foot 6 inch legal height limit without an oversize permit. Typical freight is compact excavators, skid steers, tractors, scissor lifts, crated machinery and tanks. The I-4 corridor through Seminole County produces steady construction and agricultural equipment volume, and a good share of it will not clear flatbed height. Securement follows the same standards as flatbed, with extra attention 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 Central Florida

    Lowboy

    Lowboy trailers move heavy equipment that will not clear height limits on any other open deck. The well sits between 18 and 24 inches off the road surface, which takes 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. Usual loads are excavators, dozers, graders, cranes and other tracked or wheeled machinery. Many of them exceed legal weight or dimension limits and require state permits, and some Florida routes add escort requirements or restrict the hours you are allowed to move. The seat calls for real working knowledge of axle weight distribution, permit conditions and where a machine has to sit on the deck. Lowboy pays the most of anything we run out of Central Florida, and we fill it from drivers who already have verified flatbed or stepdeck time with us.

    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, and that matters more than it sounds. 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. Freight is generally 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. The canopy keeps the weather off the load, but it restrains nothing.

    Refrigerated reefer trailer on a Central Florida lane

    Reefer

    Reefer assignments run temperature controlled freight in refrigerated trailers. Out of Central Florida that is mostly produce, frozen and refrigerated food, beverages and pharmaceutical product moving through area distribution centers and north on I-75 and I-95. The work is easier on your body 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 receiver rejects a load and files a claim. Refrigerated receivers work fixed appointment windows, so the schedule is tighter and detention is more frequent than on open deck. The tradeoff is that volume holds steady all year.

    Trailer loaded with commercial honeybee hives for pollination hauling

    Bee Hauling

    Bee hauling moves live commercial honeybee colonies for agricultural pollination. Out of Florida that means migrating hives around the Southeast on the pollination calendar. We have been doing it for more than eight years, and the only real measure of the job is whether the colonies arrive healthy. Live freight changes the rules. Securement uses standard strapping paired with heavy duty netting so the stacked hives stay intact. You also manage airflow, which mostly means keeping the truck moving during daylight so the colonies do not overheat. The schedule follows the bees rather than a warehouse. Loading and unloading happen at night or at first light while the bees are dormant, which asks for reliability at odd hours. In exchange, the runs go farm to farm and dock detention disappears.

    Our strong points

    Our own terminal. Our own team.
    No outsourcing.

    Most carriers rent yard space and send their trucks out to somebody else’s shop. We built ours.

    FAQs

    Questions People Ask Us

    How far is the terminal from Lake Mary?

    The yard is at 9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, in the industrial area south of Orlando International Airport. From Lake Mary Blvd you pick up SR 417 and stay on it most of the way. Nearly all of our Seminole County drivers take the 417 rather than sitting on I-4 through downtown, and they park the car at the yard before the run instead of commuting daily.

    Do you hire drivers outside Lake Mary itself?

    Yes. We hire across Seminole County and the north Orlando metro, including Heathrow, Longwood, Sanford, Winter Springs, Altamonte Springs and Oviedo. If you can get to the terminal at the start and end of a run, the city printed on your license does not matter to us.

    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 two years, so put down your real number. 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 a lease program?

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

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

    Ask the recruiter on your call. The payout schedule depends on your trailer type and start date, and you will have the terms in front of you 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 you want to move to the open deck side, flatbed is the entry point, and 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. Anything beyond that widens what we can put you on, so it is worth mentioning on your call.

    Can I park my personal vehicle at the terminal?

    Yes, and it is free. Secure parking for personal vehicles is included, which is how most of our Lake Mary drivers handle it. You drive down, leave the car and go.

    How do I apply for a CDL driver job in Lake Mary, FL?

    Fill out the form on this page and a recruiter will call you. It takes about two minutes and you do not need to upload anything.
