Top Intermodal Pay: Up to $1,550/Wk + Home Daily
About The Position
Drive local intermodal routes from the McCook, Illinois yard at 5200 Joliet Road. Daily dispatches typically stay within a 65-mile radius of the rail ramp, with longer round trips reaching 500–600 miles. Regional runs may span Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Iowa, and Wisconsin, with at least one layover per week. Freight includes live loads and drop-and-hook loads. Drivers use day-cab tractors, and all units leave from and return to the McCook yard daily; personal transportation to the yard is required because trucks cannot be taken home during off-time. Drivers are home daily and receive two consecutive days off each week. Normal shifts are 10 to 12 hours per day, five days per week, with an optional sixth day available. Average weekly pay is $1,280, with top weekly earnings up to $1,550; pay scales with miles and driving experience.
