Jeep Transport

What Jeep Transport does

Jeep Transport is a family-owned, asset-based trucking and logistics company headquartered at 2700 McDonough St, Joliet, Illinois, founded in 2007 by two brothers who started with a single truck. The company operates a fleet of over 170 Freightliner Cascadia tractors (2020-2024 model years, governed at 70 mph) and more than 210 trackable 53-foot dry van and refrigerated trailers, providing freight transportation services across all 48 contiguous US states. Its core service offering spans dry van and reefer linehaul, long-haul and short-haul, dedicated lanes, regional Midwest routes under 500 miles, and FTL/LTL shipments, complemented by ancillary logistics, warehousing, cross-docking, and a fully equipped in-house truck and trailer repair facility at the Joliet headquarters.

The business model is multi-stream and transaction-based. Company drivers are paid $0.65 per mile with guaranteed consistent miles plus safety, layover, detention, and stop bonuses; owner-operators retain 82% of gross revenue with year-round freight, lease options, and maintenance support provided; asset-backed brokerage (operating under the Jeep Freight sub-brand) generates truckload, volume, and LTL revenue; and warehousing and cross-docking at the Joliet facility generate storage and handling fees. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with shippers acquired through the corporate website, sales outreach, and the trucks.jeeptransport.com availability portal, while drivers are recruited via the website careers page, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and third-party driver boards such as IntelliApp. Customer segmentation is horizontal, serving companies of various sizes and industries, with revenue concentrated in FTL transportation but increasingly diversified across dedicated, brokerage, and storage services.
