Local Intermodal Truck Driver – No-Touch Containers – Home Daily

Local CDL-A Night Driver | Chicago Rail Yards

If you want to pull local container freight and sleep in your own bed after every single shift, we have a night slot opening up on our dedicated intermodal fleet right here in Chicago. This run gives you the best of both worlds: high-mileage regional miles across five states, but structured so you always clock out and go home daily.

Base Mileage Rate: Start at a baseline of $0.62 per mile.

Load Bonus: Earn an extra $20.00 cash for every single load you pull.

Your Daily Night Runs

100% Home Daily: You complete your night loops and head straight back to your own home every single day.

The Route: You will pull containers out of the Chicago rail yards and run loops servicing local and regional lanes across Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and Indiana.

The Shift: This is a dedicated, permanent Night Shift position.

The Labor: This is standard intermodal work, mostly heavy drop-and-hook operations at night, along with some occasional live loads and unloads. No physical loading or unloading is required on your part.

The Schedule: Weekend work is standard on this account to keep the rail pipeline moving. You will only be expected to work a holiday if it happens to fall on your normally scheduled work day.

The Reality of the Lane: You will be dealing with standard Chicago traffic and making some out-of-state turns, but the routes are strictly designed to get you back home for your daily reset.
