Over the Road
Our flatbed division primarily runs in the Midwest and southern states. However, we occasionally take "one-off" loads to the Eastern or Western states. We are fortunate to have an excellent customer base and vast amounts of freight. Our flatbed loads require minimal tarping less than 40%-50% of the time. Many loads are pre-loaded and secured, with most tarping done on the backhauls. We use 4-foot drops for the majority of our loads. We haul drywall, and those loads require 8-foot drops that the driver would have to roll up. Tucker hauls different types of freight, including steel, machinery, tanks, truck bodies, drywall, roofing materials, building commodities, and much more.
Local
We offer local driving positions out of our Dubuque, Burlington, and Quad Cities locations. This position would require a driver to reside within 45 minutes of one of our terminals. However, this job allows a driver to be home daily as they typically run within a 250-mile radius. These drivers usually do 2-3 loads a day.
Flex Fleet
We offer Flex Fleet driving positions out of our Dubuque, Burlington, and Quad Cities locations. This position would require a driver to reside within 45 minutes of a terminal. This driving job would only require the driver to stay out in the truck 2-3 nights a week. Flex Fleet drivers often run within a 350-mile radius; however, they will occasionally take longer loads which would be the nights they would be expected to stay out in the truck.
Tucker Freight Lines Territory
Our freight lanes run throughout the Midwest, Southeast, and select Ports, with the occasional Western freight. Tucker Freight Lines is your premier transportation solution. Contact us if Tucker Freight Lines can help with any of your transportation needs.
