Fastex Logistics hires Class A CDL drivers at our terminal at 9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, in the industrial corridor south of Orlando International Airport. From Sanford it is one road. The 417 picks up at I-4 by the Seminole Towne Center and runs south past the airport to the exits closest to our gate, roughly forty minutes when traffic behaves, and you never touch I-4 through downtown. Drivers on our roster commute in from Lake Mary, Longwood, Oviedo and DeBary.

These are company driver positions. No lease, no deposit, no escrow, and no equipment cost comes out of your settlement. Weekly pay runs $3,000 to $5,000 depending on trailer type and lane assignment, and a $3,000 sign-on bonus applies.

Secure parking for personal vehicles is included at the terminal. Your car sits inside our fence for the length of your run, which is the point of the drive down: you make it when you leave and when you come home, not twice a day.

Seminole County has a deep bench of experienced Class A drivers and very few carriers headquartered close enough to matter. Most Sanford drivers end up reporting to a leased lot somewhere in the Orlando metro, or hauling out to Lakeland or Ocala for a yard that belongs to someone else. Ours belongs to us. You notice the difference the first time you need a repair scheduled, a settlement corrected or a load changed at two in the morning.

We run five trailer types out of this terminal: flatbed, stepdeck, lowboy, conestoga and reefer. We also move commercial bee colonies, which is its own operation. Assignments follow verified experience, so drivers who want heavy haul start on open deck and move into it once they have built a record with us. If you live in Sanford, Lake Mary or anywhere along the SR 46 corridor, come walk the yard before you decide anything.

If you meet those four lines, we have a seat for you. We run all 48 states with a steady mix of OTR and regional freight, so you are not competing with the rest of the board for miles, and you are not sitting three days in a truck stop waiting on a dispatcher to remember your name.

Where you go from there is up to you. Drivers who start on flatbed and prove they can secure a load properly move onto stepdeck, then lowboy, and the pay moves with them. Tell the recruiter what you have hauled and what you want to be hauling in two years, and we will be straight with you about how long that takes here.

    Your next ride

    Equipment You Can
    Be Proud to Drive

    A good driver deserves a truck that does not fight back. Our fleet runs late-model Freightliner, Volvo, Kenworth and Western Star, and we spend real money on the trailers behind them. Six configurations come out of this terminal, and we match you to the one your experience actually fits rather than whatever happens to be sitting empty.

    Flatbed trailer loaded with steel at the Fastex Logistics terminal

    Flatbed

    Open deck freight with no walls and no roof. Out of this terminal you will run structural steel, lumber, pipe, drywall, roofing material and palletized building products, a lot of it feeding construction across Seminole County and up the I-4 corridor toward Daytona and Jacksonville. Nothing encloses the load, so securement is on you, and FMCSA sets the standard in 49 CFR Part 393. The commodity decides the method: straps, chains, binders, edge protection, tarps. Against a dry van the trade is simple. You do more work with your hands and far less waiting, because most of these pickups and deliveries happen in yards and on job sites instead of behind an appointment receiving door. Flatbed is where our open deck operation starts, and every securement habit you build here carries straight into stepdeck and lowboy.

    Stepdeck trailer used on Fastex Logistics open deck lanes

    Stepdeck

    Also called a drop deck. An open trailer with an upper deck over the tractor and a lower main deck behind it. That lower deck sits around 42 inches against 60 on a standard flatbed, which buys you roughly 18 inches of cargo height and lets a load close to 10 feet travel inside the 13 foot 6 inch legal limit without an oversize permit. Expect compact excavators, skid steers, tractors, scissor lifts, crated machinery and tanks. Central Florida turns out steady construction and agricultural equipment volume, and plenty of it stands too tall for a flatbed. Securement standards match flatbed, with more attention paid to ramp loading and how the weight sits across the deck. Some of our stepdecks carry integrated ramps for drive-on freight.

    Lowboy trailer hauling heavy construction equipment

    Lowboy

    Lowboy carries the machinery that cannot clear height limits on any other open deck. The well rides 18 to 24 inches off the road, which accommodates machine heights around 11 to 12 feet, and most units use a removable gooseneck so equipment drives or winches on from the front. Loads are excavators, dozers, graders, cranes and similar tracked or wheeled iron. A good share of it exceeds legal weight or dimension and moves on state permits, and some Florida routes add escorts or restrict what hours you can run. The seat asks for real working knowledge of axle weight distribution, permit conditions and where a machine sits on the deck. It is the highest paid assignment in our Central Florida operation, and we fill it from drivers with verified flatbed or stepdeck time.

    Conestoga trailer with rolling tarp system

    Conestoga

    A flatbed or stepdeck fitted with a retractable tarp on a rolling frame. The canopy slides back along the trailer to open the deck for side or overhead loading, then closes over the load. It replaces manual tarping, and that matters more than it sounds on paper. A conventional tarp job eats 30 to 45 minutes and accounts for a large share of flatbed injuries, most of them falls off the deck. A conestoga opens and closes in a few minutes from ground level. Freight is generally product that needs weather protection but still requires open deck access: machinery, coiled steel, packaged building materials, finished goods. Securement requirements do not change. The canopy protects the load, it does not restrain it. You keep the versatility of open deck freight without spending your afternoon standing on top of a trailer.

    Refrigerated reefer trailer used for temperature controlled freight

    Reefer

    Temperature controlled freight in refrigerated trailers. Out of Central Florida that means produce, frozen and refrigerated food, beverages and pharmaceutical product moving through Florida distribution centers and north on I-75 and I-95. The work is easier on your back than open deck and harder on your 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 your 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 and a claim gets filed. Refrigerated receivers hold you to fixed appointment windows, so scheduling is tighter and detention shows up more often than it does on open deck. The volume holds up all year.

    Trailer loaded with commercial beehives for pollination transport

    Bee Hauling

    Live commercial honeybee colonies moved for agricultural pollination, mostly migrating hives across the Southeast out of Florida. We have been running these loads for more than eight years, and the whole job is measured on one thing: whether the colonies arrive healthy. Securement pairs standard strapping with heavy duty netting to keep the stacked hives together. Airflow is part of driving the load, so you keep the truck moving during daylight to stop the colonies overheating. The schedule follows the bees instead of a warehouse calendar, which means you load and unload at night or at first light while the hives are dormant. The hours are unconventional and the reliability bar is high. In exchange, deliveries run farm to farm and dock detention basically disappears.

    Our strong points

    Our own terminal. Our own team.
    No outsourcing.

    Most carriers in this market rent their yard and farm out the shop. We own both, and you feel it every week.

    FAQs

    Questions People Ask Us

    Is the terminal in Sanford?

    No. Our yard is at 9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, south of Orlando International Airport. From Sanford it is the 417 the whole way, roughly forty minutes off peak, and you never have to sit in I-4 through downtown. We hire a lot of Seminole County drivers because you park at the yard when you go out, so that drive happens at the start and end of a run rather than every morning.

    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, so put down your real number. Under two years is not an automatic no, it just means 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. Bonus terms depend on trailer type and 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, 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 bring it up on your call.

    Can I park my car at the terminal?

    Yes, and it costs you nothing. Secure parking inside our fence for as long as you are out. Nobody is leaving a vehicle on a side street in Sanford for two weeks.

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

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