Illinois flatbed driver jobs with a family-owned Illinois carrier — home-domiciled CDL-A company drivers, freight that keeps you moving, and pay you can calculate before you apply.
Illinois is one of the strongest flatbed freight states in the country. Interstate highways put Lemont within a single day's run of steel, machinery, building materials, and industrial freight across Chicago, the suburbs, and downstate. Prestige Hauling runs 48' and 53' flatbed trailers from our terminal at 13769 Main St Suite 110, Lemont, IL 60439, and we are recruiting CDL-A company drivers to move that freight.
Why drive flatbed for an Illinois carrier?
- Freight density. Northern Illinois is one of the densest freight markets in the country, which means more reloads and less deadhead time.
- Home base advantage. When your terminal is near Chicago, weekend home time is a genuine expectation rather than a promise.
- Premium pay for the work. Illinois flatbed company drivers at Prestige earn $0.75 per mile plus $100 tarp pay.
- A newer fleet. Professional equipment — maintained tractors and flatbeds — means fewer roadside problems and more on-time deliveries.
Who qualifies
Applicants need a valid CDL-A, a driving record that meets company and insurance standards, and the ability to satisfy federal qualification requirements. Flatbed experience is valuable but not always required for every opening — tell recruiting the truth about your background and they will tell you where you fit. Drivers who are comfortable with or willing to learn load securement and tarping do especially well in flatbed freight.
What the work is like
Flatbed freight in Illinois ranges from bundled construction materials to industrial machinery and building components. You will inspect and secure loads, tarp when weather demands it, and be the professional the customer sees — the person who makes sure the load arrives the way it left. Dispatch stays in communication on route details, and the office is reachable when a driver needs a hand resolving an issue. It is physical work, and it is also among the most respected specialties in trucking.
How to apply
The application is completely online through IntelliApp and takes most drivers only a few minutes: your contact, license, employment, and driving-history information. A recruiter reviews it and contacts qualified candidates to discuss the current openings.
