FOX RIVER GROVE – Online freight management company Truckstop.com will be moving into Fox River Grove this week.

The company is expected to bring 60 new jobs to the village and have space to grow to about 100 employees at 912 Northwest Highway, said Jim Vrtis, chief technology officer with Truckstop.com.

The online freight-matching company was founded in 1995 in Idaho, according to a news release from the village. It provides services including load planning, transportation management, telematics, route optimization and logistics solutions.

The business’ technology center will be in Fox River Grove, Vrtis said.

“We’re developing web applications [and] mobile applications, that service the industry,” Vrtis said, adding that some of the company’s clients include Swift Transportation, FedEx and UPS.

Vrtis said Fox River Grove is a good location for the technology center because of its proximity to Chicago and its suburbs, as well as the train stations in both Fox River Grove and Barrington.

Vrtis said he hopes people will realize there are opportunities for technology jobs in the suburbs.

After the Fox River Grove location opens, Truckstop.com will have about 230 total employees in three states. This is its first office in Illinois, Vrtis said.

“Fox River Grove is thrilled to welcome Truckstop.com to the village,” Village President Robert Nunamaker said in a statement. “This is a great addition to our business community, and we look forward to being partners for years to come.”

The office still is seeking employees for positions including software developers, database administrators and information security engineer. People interested in applying for a job can click “careers” on the home page at Truckstop.com.
