Regional CDL-A Flatbed Drivers

Home Every Weekend | Family-Owned Since 1928

Tired of being a truck number instead of a name? Join a family-owned flatbed carrier where

you’re home every weekend, your paycheck is predictable, and your truck is set up to make

your life easier on the road.

About Summerford Truck Line

Summerford Truck Line is a family-owned flatbed company based in Ashford, Alabama,

with over 98 years and four generations in the business. We’ve grown into a nationally

recognized carrier, but we still run on small-company values: safety, respect, and doing

things the right way.

Why Drivers Stay

Our drivers consistently point to three reasons they stay with Summerford: they’re home

when we say they’ll be, their pay is steady and competitive, and they’re treated like part of

the family, not just a truck number. With nearly a century on the road, we’ve built a culture

where you can build a long-term, stable career—not just your next job.
