Highgate 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 at IKEA 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 IKEA 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
- 16'- 20’ box truck with liftgate, under 26,000 lbs. GVWR (non-CDL)
- Must be able to carry 3,200 KG

Every driver and helper passes a background check, MVR review, and drug screen
Comfortable handling furniture in customer homes — this is a customer-facing job, not a dock-to-dock run
Great customer service and professional attire (Black pants, Black shirt, safety vests.
Smartphone with data for the delivery app and photo proof of delivery and tracking
StandardsAll loads run on your own equipment with your own crew. No re-brokering, no subcontracting to a third carrier.
We deliver under IKEA's IWAY supplier code of conduct — safe, legal, professional operation is non-negotiable, and we audit for it.
What you get- Consistent, year-round volume — not a load board
- $500-$650 per route,
- Weekly settlements by ACH, Friday pay for the prior week
- A named dispatcher, not a call center
- Same territory and same routes so your crew gets fast at them
- Room to add trucks as we expand across the Chicago–Milwaukee corridor
