About the Company
Blackout Motor Freight is a driver-oriented freight carrier based out of Casco, Michigan. We are looking for company drivers who want to be home every weekend but still reap the rewards of an over-the-road driver. For those who love driving but don’t like the sedentary lifestyle that often comes with trucking, flatbed is a great solution.
We specialize in hauling freight that requires an open deck flatbed trailer. Our drivers hold a Class-A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). BMF is primarily a Mid-West regional carrier, meaning that drivers get home on weekends.
Common freight that our drivers haul are items such as heavy machinery, metal, lumber, pipe and other building materials that must be hauled on an open flatbed trailer. Drivers are required to secure the loads onto the trailers and some loads may require tarping.
