Job description
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionHighgate Logistics is contracting independent box truck carriers for IKEA home delivery out of Bolingbrook, IL.
We're a last-mile logistics company running white-glove furniture delivery across the Chicago–Milwaukee corridor. We're adding contract carriers with their own trucks and crews to run daily routes originating in Bolingbrook.
This is a carrier contract, not an employee position. You run your own truck, your own crew, and your own business. We provide consistent daily volume, a defined route territory, and weekly settlements.
What the work looks like
Load out at Bolingbrook, start times around 7:00 AM, 8:00 AM, 9:00 AM
residential stops per route across the Chicago metro Indiana
Threshold and White-glove service: room-of-choice placement, no set up or install required. Just a clean and neat delivery.
Returns and hallways as needed
Two-person crew on every truck — driver plus helper
Routes are pre-built and sequenced; you get your manifest the night before
Most routes complete in 8-12 hours

Standards
All loads run on your own equipment with your own crew. No re-brokering, no subcontracting to a third carrier.
