Join our Team of drivers
Built for owner-operators, and home daily. We haul regional Midwest steel freight, with an average loaded haul of about 125 miles. No weeks out on the road.
Why Work for Grid-Line?
We offer some of the best pay programs in the flatbed industry. We pay 74.5% of 100% of the line haul. Grid-Line Transportation pays 100% of all accessorial charges to Owner-Operators, like fuel surcharge, stop offs, and detention. Detention is paid after the customer pays Grid-Line. Owner-Operators also receive safety incentives yearly, upon passing DOT inspections.
Plate Program
You have the option to purchase plates through us. Our plates are acceptable in 48 states. We will pass the cost to you through weekly settlement deductions. There will be no up-charge for purchasing plates through us.
Fuel Card
We offer a fuel card acceptable through almost all fuel stop facilities. We have fuel discounts at various fuel stations and give 100% of the discount of fuel directly to the owner-operator.
IFTA, UCR, Insurance
IFTA and UCR permits and provided and filed. No need to worry about filing those quarterly fuel tax reports. All insurance required is provided and Physical Damage coverage is available through us.
Other Paid Services
Drug testing and alcohol testing is paid for. We also pay for your equipment inspections at our approved facilities in East Chicago, IN and South Holland, IL.
Grid-Line Transport issues checks or direct deposit weekly to our owner-operators. We can either issue a company check and have it mailed to you or have it picked up. We offer direct deposit and can have the option to have your settlement e-mailed to you or viewed online at your convenience.
We believe everyone has the right to make as much money as they can, safely and legally. We believe everyone should have an equal and fair chance at work, and that all owner-operators should be treated the same. First in and first out dispatch. No favorites here.
