Freight shipping across Illinois and beyond.
Illinois is the freight spine of the country. Chicago's rail and highway network, the manufacturing and steel corridors, and the interstate crossroads at Joliet make the state a place where freight either moves well or gets stuck. MDX Line Inc is built to keep it moving.
From our base in Joliet, we haul flatbed, van, and full truckload freight originating in Illinois to destinations across all 48 states — and bring freight back in. Steel, building materials, machinery, and general truckload freight, moved by an asset-based carrier that knows the state's lanes.

Illinois lanes we run
Outbound from the Chicago–Joliet industrial belt to the Southeast, Texas, the Plains, and both coasts. Steel and metal out of the region's mills and service centers. Building materials to and from supply yards. General truckload freight on the corridors that fan out from I-80, I-55, I-57, and I-88.
Because we're positioned on those corridors, we can turn Illinois-origin freight quickly and keep transit times tight.
An asset-based Illinois carrier
Plenty of companies will broker your Illinois freight to whatever truck they can find. We are the truck. As an asset-based carrier, MDX Line owns the equipment and employs the drivers moving your load, which means consistent capacity and a single team accountable for the shipment.
For Illinois shippers who need reliable outbound capacity, that difference shows up as trucks that are actually available when you call.
