A Chicago-area freight carrier that delivers nationwide.
Chicago is the busiest freight market in North America — and one of the hardest to serve well. Congestion, tight receiving windows, and the sheer volume of the intermodal network mean shippers need a carrier that knows how to move through it, not just around it.
MDX Line Inc is based in Joliet, minutes from the Chicago freight market, hauling flatbed and full truckload freight from the metro to all 48 states. We're an asset-based carrier with the local knowledge to work Chicago-area pickups and the reach to deliver anywhere in the country.

Serving the Chicago freight market
The Chicago metro moves an enormous share of the nation's freight, and its intermodal yards — many of them in the Joliet–Elwood corridor — connect rail and road at national scale. A carrier positioned here can access that volume without crossing the whole metro to reach it.
MDX Line's location on the southwest edge of the market means quicker pickups for area shippers and a fast on-ramp to the interstates heading in every direction.
Local pickups, national delivery
Working with an asset-based carrier near Chicago gives you responsiveness a distant broker can't match: real trucks, local drivers, and a dispatch team that understands the market's rhythms.
And because we haul across all 48 states, a Chicago-area pickup doesn't mean a regional-only carrier — your freight stays with one accountable company from the metro to the destination.
