Gateway Logistics is a Chicago-based motor carrier moving dry van and flatbed freight across all 48 contiguous states. Transparent rates, weekly settlements, and dispatch that actually answers the phone.
Move the sliders. These are real Gateway pay structures — not a teaser. Run your own numbers before you ever fill out a form.
Per-mile rate reflects experience and endorsements. Detention, layover, and stop pay are additional and not shown here.
Estimates only. Actual pay depends on lane mix, experience, endorsements, season, and operating costs. Gateway will confirm exact rates in writing during onboarding.
Drive our equipment with steady miles, or run your own truck under our authority. Choose the path that fits where you are.
Our truck. Your steering wheel. Predictable pay.
Your truck. Our freight, billing, and back office.
Gateway runs the way drivers wish every carrier did — because the people who built it have been in the seat since 2015.
Rates posted in the open. You see the math before you apply, and we confirm every figure in writing during onboarding.
Real people, real planning. No sitting for days, no being treated like a truck number. We plan loads around your home time.
Start as a company driver, move into your own truck under our authority. A clear path from first load to owner-operator.
Two freight types, steady volume in both. Tell us which you're set up for and dispatch keeps you loaded.
Consumer goods, palletized freight, and general commodities. Drop-and-hook on key lanes, consistent miles, no tarping.
Steel, building materials, and machinery. Higher rate per mile for securement and tarping skill — and we pay for it.
Gateway runs nationwide with a Midwest base. Regional, dedicated, and long-haul lanes — we work with you on home time, not against it.
A straight, four-step path. No runaround.
Five minutes. Tell us your experience, endorsements, and which lane fits you.
A recruiter reviews your background and answers every question — pay confirmed in writing.
Paperwork, MVR, and clearinghouse handled cleanly. We keep it moving.
Equipment assigned or your truck plated, dispatch loaded, first settlement on schedule.
It depends on the lane and freight type. We hire across a range of experience levels — tell us where you are on the application and a recruiter will walk you through what's open. Flatbed lanes generally expect securement experience.
Weekly, by direct deposit, on a set schedule. Company drivers are paid per mile plus accessorials; owner-operators settle on 88% of line haul. Every figure is confirmed in writing before you start.
Yes. Owner-operators run under Gateway's 48-state authority and keep 88% of line haul. We handle dispatch, billing, and collections so you can focus on driving and managing your truck.
Dry van and flatbed across all 48 contiguous states. Dry van covers palletized and general freight; flatbed covers steel, building materials, and machinery. Let us know which you're set up for.
No. We plan freight with you, not at you. Dispatch works around your home time and preferred operating area as much as the freight market allows.
