Live in the Chicago metro and want flatbed work with a terminal you can reach? Prestige Hauling runs flatbeds out of Lemont, IL — 30 minutes from the city — and is recruiting CDL-A company drivers.
Finding flatbed driver jobs near Chicago that combine honest pay with actual home time is harder than it should be. Large national carriers pay a lower rate and treat home time as a negotiation. Prestige Hauling is a family-owned flatbed carrier with a single terminal in Lemont, IL, and Chicago-metro drivers start their week at a terminal they can get home from every weekend.
What Chicago-area drivers can expect
- $0.75 per mile plus $100 tarp pay — a settlement you can predict, published on our pay page.
- A terminal in Lemont, IL (13769 Main St Suite 110, Lemont, IL 60439) — close to I-355, I-55, and the city, without terminal congestion.
- Flatbed freight from Chicago's industrial base — steel, machinery, building materials, and over-dimensional loads that reward skill.
- Direct access to management. In a family-owned company, the people who answer the phone can actually fix your problem.
Why flatbed freight near Chicago is steady work
The Chicago area is the largest rail and intermodal hub in North America, and a large share of that freight moves on flatbeds: construction steel, coils, pipe, machinery, and oversized components that van trailers cannot carry. Year-round construction and manufacturing demand means flatbed drivers based here do not face the seasonal dead spots other markets see. Drivers who master securement and tarping build a reputation that keeps them loaded through every season.
Requirements
Valid CDL-A, a driving record meeting company and insurance standards, and federal qualification requirements. Openings vary; some require flatbed experience, others accept strong CDL-A drivers willing to learn securement properly. Ask recruiting honestly about your background and the current opening's expectations.
