CDL A Owner Operators

General Express

OWNER-OPERATOR — INTERMODAL / DRAYAGE


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.


  • Percentage-based pay with weekly settlements — transparent line-item statements, fuel surcharge passed through on every loaded mile.


  • 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.



What you need




  • Class A CDL with 12+ months verifiable tractor-trailer experience (intermodal/drayage a plus, not required)


  • Tractor of your own — or use our lease-purchase program; you don't need to already own one


  • 23+ years old, acceptable MVR and PSP, able to pass DOT drug screen


  • Tank, Hazmat and TWIC not required, helpful for some


  • Professionalism at the gate: our customers know our operators by their conduct
