Five states. One terminal. No freight we cannot name the driver for.
MI · IL · IN · OH · WI
This is the whole network. There is nothing behind it.
Five states, one terminal. We do not run outside this footprint, and we will say so rather than brokering your freight to someone we do not know.

What moves a rate.
Freight pricing is opaque by convention. It does not have to be. These five things decide your number and all five appear on the quote.
All six services- Distance and lane balance
- A loaded run into a region we struggle to load out of costs more than the mileage suggests. Grand Rapids to Chicago prices better than the reverse for exactly this reason.
- Weight and pallet count
- Under about eight pallets, LTL is usually cheaper. Over twelve, truckload usually wins. Between the two, we will run both numbers for you.
- Appointment windows
- A two-hour receiving window at the destination costs more than a same-day window, because it puts the driver's hours at risk.
- Seasonality
- Late Q4 and the weeks around produce season tighten capacity across the Midwest. We will tell you when you are quoting into a tight week.
- Accessorials
- Liftgate, inside delivery, residential, detention beyond two hours. These appear on our quotes up front rather than on your invoice afterwards.
Regional truckload
Full trailers moving between the five states we cover. One driver, one trailer, no cross-docking, no transfer risk.
- Equipment
- 53 ft dry van
- Lead
- 24 – 48 hours
LTL coordination
Partial loads consolidated with our carrier partners. Slower and cheaper than truckload; we tell you which one your freight actually needs.
- Equipment
- Partner network
- Lead
- 48 – 72 hours
Dedicated routes
A recurring lane with the same equipment and, where we can, the same driver. Priced monthly rather than per load.

- Assigned
- Lead
- Contracted
Expedited freight
When a line is down and the part has to move now. We will quote it honestly, including when driving it yourself would be faster.

- Lead
- Same day where distance allows
Warehouse transfers
Moving inventory between your own facilities, including overnight runs that land before a shift starts.
- Equipment
- 53 ft dry van
