About the Job
Our routes often begin or conclude in this region, giving local drivers reliable home time on nationwide runs doing over the road services. We are actively hiring 
experienced Class A CDL Solo OTR Truck Drivers
 for our 
modern fleet 
who live in the 
Chicago, IL area and surrounding communities. 
Chicago is one of our largest and most active markets in the Midwest, with high freight volume, diverse route options, and strong demand across multiple lanes.
Typical Pay Highlights:
30% of line haul OR 65 a mile + bonuses
 (the choice most solo drivers prefer).
Average
 weekly gross: $1,900 - $2,400 with peaks reaching $2,700+ 
on legal hours.
Switch between percentage and miles pay
 whenever you choose.
Consistent 
drivers earned between $115,000 and $125,000 in 2025.
A few exceptional
 top performers reached $145,000 last year
 driving full time.
Anyone who wants to 
put in the effort will make good money!
Pay Details & Realistic Expectations:
Pay is performance-based. In 2025, 
87% of our drivers went with the 30% percentage plan because it consistently delivered better earnings in the current market. Slow season (Q1) typically ranges from $1,900-$2,100 per week with some weeks hitting $2,400. Peak seasons (Q2 and Q4) usually run $2,100-$2,400 with some $2,700 weeks. Q3 is somewhere between. This seasonal pattern has been reliable for the past 25 years. Everyone is different, Some guy who work harder than others, are fit and able, and who work well with our dispatchers consistently blow the numbers away.
Pay Options:
Percentage Pay (Best Option for Most Solos)
 - We pay up to 30% of line haul plus bonuses. We intentionally keep miles lower on percentage (2,000-2,500 in slow season and up to 3,000 in busy season) because it maximizes earnings, reduces fuel costs, and helps prevent burnout.
Miles Pay Option
 - Switch at any time. Up to 65 cents per mile plus bonuses based on experience and record. Typical miles: 2,500-3,600 per week.
Team Pay (Miles Only)
 - Up to 75¢ per mile split. Average $2,000-$2,600 per driver per week. Note: Solo percentage pay is currently the stronger choice in this market.

Important Info About Our Work Ethic:
We receive a high volume of applications and are selective - 
we are looking for "A" stringers and true professionals.

We are fair, but success depends on your effort.
