Where we move freight.
Based in Schererville, Indiana, we run steel and flatbed freight across the Midwest, from Chicago and Indianapolis to Butler, Delta, Louisville and Granite City. Same-day or next-day delivery is the operational standard. Strong connections to steel mills, processors, and job sites keep our drivers home most nights.

See how our fleet supports freight moving in and out of Chicago and why the region is central to our operations.
Beyond Chicago, our network also supports freight movement through Indianapolis and Central Indiana, another key market within our regional footprint. With its role as a Midwest crossroads for manufacturing, distribution, and construction supply chains, Indianapolis allows us to extend the same level of operational consistency, responsiveness, and flatbed expertise to shippers moving freight across Indiana and surrounding states.
