Carrier terminals, yards and driver density
32 listings
Terminals, drop yards, fuel partners and driver home-time hubs across the Midwest corridor, over a county-by-county driver density index for Indiana. Sample data.
- Cardinal Ridge Indianapolis Terminal
5301 W Raymond St, Indianapolis, IN 46241, USA
24/7 · Pay per mile (cents) 62
Home terminal and main dispatch desk: 240 trucks, a 12-bay shop, and the weekly driver orientation. Every Indiana and Ohio lane starts here, so a seat that sits empty is felt first at this gate.
- Cardinal Ridge Columbus Terminal
3900 Alum Creek Dr, Columbus, OH 43207, USA
5 am to 11 pm · Pay per mile (cents) 59
Runs 90 trucks on the I-70 and I-71 lanes with a 6-bay shop. Recruiting here is slow because the nearest driver hub is two hours west, so ads stay local to Franklin and Pickaway counties.
- Cardinal Ridge Louisville Terminal
4400 Bishop Ln, Louisville, KY 40218, USA
24/7 · Pay per mile (cents) 61
110 trucks working I-65 and I-64, with an 8-bay shop and a CDL testing lot out back. Drivers from southern Indiana cross the river daily, so Clark and Floyd counties count as this terminal's catchment.
- Cardinal Ridge Memphis Terminal
3700 Millbranch Rd, Memphis, TN 38116, USA
24/7 · Pay per mile (cents) 64
The southern anchor: 130 trucks and a 10-bay shop feeding the Memphis rail ramps and the Dallas lanes. The hardest terminal to staff, so it pays the highest cents per mile on the map.
- Cardinal Ridge St. Louis Terminal
7 Gateway Commerce Center Dr W, Edwardsville, IL 62025, USA
24/7 · Pay per mile (cents) 60
100 trucks and a 7-bay shop on the Illinois side of the river, close to I-70 and I-55. Fully staffed this quarter, so recruiting spend here is paused until a retirement opens a seat.
- Cardinal Ridge Kansas City Terminal
7500 Kaw Dr, Kansas City, KS 66111, USA
4 am to midnight · Pay per mile (cents) 58
Western end of the corridor: 80 trucks, 5 bays, and a dispatch desk that covers the I-70 run to Indianapolis. Two drivers out of eight leave in the first year, which is why the pay is posted.
- Cardinal Ridge Joliet Terminal
1100 S Brandon Rd, Joliet, IL 60436, USA
24/7 · Pay per mile (cents) 63
160 trucks and a 9-bay shop next to the Joliet and Elwood intermodal ramps. Chicago-area drivers meet their trucks here, and the Summit drop yard is 35 miles north.
- Whitestown Staging Yard

Gate 24/7
Staging yard for the Whitestown and Lebanon warehouse belt. 220 trailer spots, lit and fenced, with trailers swapped in under 20 minutes.
- Greenwood Drop Yard
1000 S Emerson Ave, Greenwood, IN 46143, USA
Gate 5 am to 11 pm
South-side drop yard for Johnson County freight, 120 spots. Drivers who live in Franklin and Bargersville start their day here instead of driving to the terminal.

11500 Chester Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45246, USA
Gate 24/7
Our only Cincinnati presence: a leased 150-spot yard with no shop and no dispatch desk. Drivers here live within 25 miles, which is the strongest case on the map for a full terminal.
- Summit Drop Yard
6600 S Harlem Ave, Summit, IL 60501, USA
Gate 24/7
260 spots in the southwest Chicago industrial belt, minutes from the rail ramps. Trailers wait here for a driver to come off home-time, so an open seat costs a day of detention.
- Gary Corridor Yard
3000 W 15th Ave, Gary, IN 46404, USA
Gate 24/7
90-spot yard on the Lake County steel and port side, Indiana's densest driver county. Used for hand-offs between the Chicago and Indianapolis drivers.
- Fort Wayne Drop Yard
5800 Meyer Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46806, USA
Gate 6 am to 10 pm
70 spots north of I-69 with no shop and no recruiter on site. Allen County has the second-highest driver density in the state, so this is where the next terminal would go.
- Hilliard Overflow Yard
3600 Parkway Ln, Hilliard, OH 43026, USA
Gate 24/7
130 spots on the Columbus west side, used when the terminal fills on Mondays. Drivers from Union and Madison counties park their own cars here and ride in with a dispatcher.
