Elwood / Joliet, IL · Home daily · Year-round dedicated freight

What you'll run:

Container drayage between the Elwood/Joliet rail ramps, area rail yards, and Midwest customers. Mix of local rail shuttles and regional lanes (Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana runs) — most work keeps you within the region and gets you home every night.

Why operators stay here

Home daily.

The freight is built around the Chicagoland ramps — not over-the-road.

Steady, dedicated volume.

Established customer freight year-round, not load-board scraps.

Fuel card program

with meaningful at-the-pump savings.

Our own shop on-site.

Priority service for our operators; maintenance handled where you park.

Secured on-site parking

— leave the truck at the terminal, drive home in your car.

Plates, permits, PrePass available through the company

— spread across settlements instead of out-of-pocket lump sums.

Insurance options

available for deduction-based enrollment (bobtail, physical damage, occupational accident).

No forced dispatch.

Grow when you're ready:

lease-purchase tractors available — day cabs and sleepers — and fleet owners are welcome to place multiple trucks.
