Job Description

Midwest Logistics Systems (MLS) is a reputable and dedicated logistics company specializing in transportation and trucking solutions. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Schneider, MLS operates independently with its own unique operating procedures, qualification requirements, training programs, pay packages, and benefits. Founded on principles of quality service and customer satisfaction, MLS prides itself on providing reliable, efficient transportation services across a range of industries. The company cultivates a work environment that values safety, professionalism, and inclusivity, making it a preferred employer for truck drivers seeking stability, competitive pay, and excellent benefits. With a strong emphasis on employee well-being and development, MLS supports its team with comprehensive training and resources to ensure successful careers within the transportation industry.

The role of a Dedicated Truck Driver at Midwest Logistics Systems offers a unique opportunity for drivers to maintain a consistent and predictable work schedule with daily home time. This position involves operating newer trucks primarily hauling automotive parts in dry van trailers along the same dedicated out-and-back route, which allows drivers to build relationships with regular customers and enjoy a familiar route every day. The job emphasizes a no-touch freight model, primarily drop-and-hook freight, which minimizes manual handling, thereby enhancing safety and efficiency. Drivers in this role work closely with onsite leaders and dispatch teams to coordinate logistics and ensure timely deliveries. This stability and predictability make it an attractive option for drivers looking to balance their professional and personal lives effectively.

In addition to the competitive average weekly pay of $1,000 to $1,200, MLS offers a substantial $10,000 sign-on bonus for experienced drivers. The compensation package also includes route and detention pay, safety and performance bonuses of up to $600 per quarter, and longevity bonuses up to $750 per quarter. Drivers receive weekly paychecks, further supporting financial stability. Benefits extend beyond remuneration with medical, dental, and vision insurance, disability and life insurance, a 401(k) savings plan with company match, paid holidays, and paid time off. Company-provided uniforms and the opportunity to be part of a dedicated, professional team committed to driver safety and success add to the overall value of this opportunity.

MLS strongly supports an inclusive culture, emphasizing respect and dignity for all employees regardless of background, race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or ability. This commitment to diversity fuels innovation and leadership development within the organization. Candidates can request reasonable accommodations during the hiring process in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Overall, the Dedicated Truck Driver position at Midwest Logistics Systems is perfect for qualified, experienced CDL drivers seeking a rewarding career with a company that prizes commitment, safety, and respect for its workforce.
