Careers at Highgate Logistics

Steady routes, weekly pay, and a dispatcher who knows your name.

We run two kinds of delivery. In New York, our own employees deliver parcels by electric cargo bike across the Upper East and Upper West Side. In the Midwest, independent contract carriers deliver furniture into homes on their own trucks with their own crews. What doesn’t change is the office — dispatch and management are Highgate employees who live and work in the markets they run, so the person you call is on our payroll, knows your streets, and is there to get your day on the road to go well.

One company, two very different opportunities.

In New York we employ our delivery associates directly, with benefits from day one for part-time and full-time alike. In the Midwest we do not hire drivers at all — we contract with independent carriers who bring their own authority, equipment and crew.

Contract Carrier — Box Truck

Run daily home delivery routes out of Bolingbrook with your own truck and your own crew. This is a carrier contract, not a job. You get consistent year-round volume and the same territory every week, so your crew gets fast at it — not a load board.

SettlementPaid per route, one route per day, settled by ACH every Friday — rates discussed when we send the carrier packet.
The workLoad out in Bolingbrook, 7:00, 8:00 or 9:00 AM starts. Threshold and room-of-choice placement, no assembly or installation. Routes run 8–12 hours.
Equipment16–20 ft box truck with liftgate, under 26,000 lbs GVWR (non-CDL), 2015 or newer preferred. E-track and straps, blankets, four-wheel and appliance dollies.
AuthorityActive MC/DOT in good standing, $1M auto liability, $100K cargo, $1M general liability, and workers' comp or occupational accident coverage — available through Openforce if you need it
CrewTwo people on every truck. Every driver and helper clears a background check, MVR review and drug screen.
How we runPre-built, sequenced routes with your manifest the night before, a named dispatcher, and no re-brokering to a third carrier

Our employees

Parcel delivery associates are on Highgate’s payroll. We hire them, train them, pay them hourly with overtime, and cover them with health insurance and a 401(k) match whether they work twenty hours a week or forty.

Independent carriers

Furniture routes run with contract carriers. You bring the authority, the truck and the crew; we bring consistent daily volume, a fixed territory and a rate you can build a business on. You are running your business, not working a shift.

In the building · Both markets

The office is never outsourced.

Highgate employees run the office in every market — dispatch, route planning, customer service and management. When something goes wrong at 6 AM, you are talking to us.

Bikes and trucks don’t make deliveries. People do.

Highgate’s founder spent two decades in last mile logistics before starting this one, including running one of North America’s leading last mile companies. The lesson that stuck is simple: this business is people — riders, crews, dispatchers, clients — and it only runs well when all of them are taken seriously. That shows up in ordinary ways: routes planned before you arrive, and problems answered the same day, whether you are an employee or a carrier.

Pay

On time, every week

New York employees are paid weekly. Contract carriers settle by ACH every Friday — no 30-day terms, no chasing invoices.

Benefits

Coverage for part-timers too

Health insurance, 401(k) with company match and paid time off are offered to part-time and full-time New York employees, not just to people working forty hours.

Schedule

Shifts you can plan around

Short, fixed shift blocks in the same neighborhoods or territory week to week. You know the streets before you clock in, and roughly when you will be done.

Training

Paid from your first day

Training for employees is paid from the first day, and it is run by people who have done the route. Contract carriers train their own crews — to a written standard we set and audit.

Advancement

Team leads come from the road

Because dispatch is in-house, a rider on the road can move into a Highgate office job. Team lead and dispatcher openings are filled from inside first. Carriers who run clean get offered more routes and room to add trucks.

Standards

Safety is not a poster

Equipment is inspected, loads are planned, and we operate under our customers' supplier codes of conduct — and we audit against them rather than assume.

Highgate Logistics is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all qualified applicants regardless of age, national origin, race, color, sex, disability, religious belief, gender identity or sexual orientation.

Steady routes, weekly pay, and a dispatcher who knows your name.
