About the Job
DSL Express and partners are now hiring experienced
 Class A CDL Solo OTR Truck Drivers
 from the 
Villa Park, IL and greater Chicagoland
 area to run our updated and modernized fleet. This is a strong market for us because Chicagoland is one of our core freight areas, and we need serious drivers from the west suburbs and surrounding Illinois communities who can help service 
nationwide OTR routes that regularly connect back through this region. Pay is pretty good. 
The minimum full-time pay here is $104,000 per year on the low end. This is an OTR position. You can live in Villa Park, nearby suburbs, elsewhere in Illinois, or out of state, but drivers from this market are especially valuable to us because of how much freight moves through the Chicago area.
Typical Pay Highlights:
30% of line haul OR 65 per 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.
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.
 A few exceptional top performers reached $145,000 last year driving full time.
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.
