Job Description

TransWood Logistics is a respected leader in the trucking industry with terminals located in Lansing and Channahon, Illinois. Known for its commitment to safety, professionalism, and excellent service, TransWood specializes in transportation involving liquid chemicals and other specialized freight. The company places a strong emphasis on driver satisfaction and offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a supportive work environment. With a legacy of trucking excellence, TransWood provides opportunities for career growth and stability for professional drivers who value a home-daily driving schedule.

The CDL-A Home Daily Tanker Truck Driver role at TransWood Logistics is a highly rewarding position tailored for experienced professional drivers who hold a CDL Class A license along with Tanker and Hazmat endorsements. This position emphasizes operating liquid tanker trucks safely and efficiently within regional routes typically requiring a home return each day. Drivers benefit from a generous sign-on bonus of $5,000, weekly earnings ranging from $1,400 to $1,700, and specific pay rates based on mileage and hours worked. Load assignments under 200 miles pay $30 per hour, while longer hauls over 200 miles compensate at $0.65 per mile, including an additional $50 accessorial pay for loading and unloading duties.

Beyond competitive pay, the company offers a robust benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life, and optional short-term disability insurance plans through BCBS. Drivers are also eligible for a 401(k) plan with employer matching, Health Savings Account options, paid time off (PTO), paid holidays, paid training, and quarterly performance bonuses. This mix of financial incentives and benefits reflects TransWood’s dedication to supporting its drivers’ well-being and professional development.

The ideal candidate for this position has at least one year of recent experience driving liquid tankers, a clean driving record, and an ability to meet stringent safety and regulatory compliance standards. A valid TWIC card is required, ensuring eligibility for secure facility access. In addition, all candidates must pass a DOT physical, drug test, and road test, and must be at least 24 years old. Drivers are expected to demonstrate a strong attention to detail and adhere strictly to company protocols to ensure the safe delivery of hazardous and liquid chemical cargoes. Importantly, candidates should note that TransWood does not provide CDL training, and prior relevant driving experience is essential.

This role is ideal for professional truck drivers seeking a stable, well-compensated position with a respected company that values home-daily routes and a strong safety culture. Driving for TransWood Logistics offers both the financial rewards and career support needed to thrive in the demanding and specialized field of liquid tanker transportation.
