About the Job

Our routes often begin or conclude in this region, giving local drivers reliable home time on nationwide runs doing over the road services. We are actively hiring experienced Class A CDL Solo OTR Truck Drivers for our modern fleet who live in the Peoria, IL area and surrounding communities. Peoria is a solid market for us in central Illinois with steady freight demand.

Typical

Pay Highlights:
  • 30% of line haul OR 65 per mile + bonuses (the choice most solo drivers prefer).
  • Average weekly gross: $1,900 - $2,400 with peaks reaching $2,700+ on legal hours.
  • Switch between percentage and miles pay whenever you choose.
  • Consistent drivers earned between $115,000 and $125,000 in 2025.
  • Anyone who wants to put in the effort will make good money!

Pay Details & Realistic Expectations:

Pay is performance-based. In 2025, 87% of our drivers went with the 30% percentage plan because it consistently delivered better earnings in the current market. Slow season (Q1) typically ranges from $1,900-$2,100 per week with some weeks hitting $2,400. Peak seasons (Q2 and Q4) usually run $2,100-$2,400 with some $2,700 weeks. Q3 is somewhere between. This seasonal pattern has been reliable for the past 25 years.

A few exceptional top performers reached $145,000 last year driving full time.

Pay Options:
  • Percentage Pay (Best Option for Most Solos) - We pay up to 30% of line haul plus bonuses. We intentionally keep miles lower on percentage (2,000-2,500 in slow season and up to 3,000 in busy season) because it maximizes earnings, reduces fuel costs, and helps prevent burnout.
  • Miles Pay Option
    - Switch at any time. Up to 65 cents per mile plus bonuses based on experience and record. Typical miles: 2,500-3,600 per week.
  • Team Pay (Miles Only) - Up to 75¢ per mile split. Average $2,000-$2,600 per driver per week.

    Note:

    Solo percentage pay is currently the stronger choice in this market.

We receive a high volume of applications and are selective - we are looking for "A" stringers and true professionals. Motivated, honest, and hard-working drivers earn excellent money and are treated like family. If you prefer coasting, missing loads, or spending time at truck stops, this is not the right opportunity. We are fair, but success depends on your effort.

What Makes DSL Express Different:
  • We are a well-established company with 25 years in business since 2001 - large enough to offer strong support and modern equipment, yet small enough that every driver counts.
  • We welcome veterans and give fair-chance employment to anyone ready to work hard.
  • 24/7 dispatch from three offices with real experienced staff.
  • Modern trucks (mostly automatics with some manuals available) equipped with fridges and inverters.
  • Company-owned mechanic shops in Chicago and Las Vegas.
  • Dedicated dispatchers who…
