Move your goods with full semis or nimble trucks for downtown.

Same-day and rush trucking at a glance

What is same-day rush trucking?

Same-day rush trucking from U.S. Messenger moves boxes, pallets and full loads across Chicagoland on the day you call.

The idea: a courier’s urgency with truck capacity.
Equipment: 16-foot box trucks, 24-foot straight trucks and semi-trailers.
Reach: intrastate and interstate networks.

Can U.S. Messenger deliver truckloads in downtown Chicago?

Yes. Much of U.S. Messenger’s volume is inside Chicago’s Central Business District, so its trucks go where most carriers will not.

Point to point: loads go straight to the dock.
Via Willowbrook: semi loads are broken down at the warehouse onto trucks sized for downtown docks.

Can I store goods and have them trucked in when needed?

Yes. U.S. Messenger stores bulk supplies at its Willowbrook warehouse and trucks them in as needed.

Delivery: by milk run or rush truck.
Benefit: just-in-time delivery without holding months of stock.

Who uses rush trucking?

U.S. Messenger’s rush trucking customers need truck capacity on short notice without owning a truck.

Law firms: moving case files.
Print clients: moving pallets of brochures.
Manufacturers and distributors: occasional truck capacity.

All U.S. Messenger services are a result of our clients expressing a need, but none more than Rush Trucking.

In 2006 we bought our first 16 ft box truck to have on hand when our clients’ needs turn from something small to something large. From hundreds of boxes from a law firm to pallets of brochures from print clients, that truck and others never stop moving with requests from a cross-industrial market.

Our service is designed for you to benefit from the urgency of a courier that has the capacity of a trucking provider. This melding of services is required by today’s market and has worked for industries that classically have not needed this capacity and companies that count on it every day.

Because much of our business is handled within the Central Business District, U.S. Messenger has the resources to operate where most trucking providers will not go. Our fleet and associated agent operations can deliver point to point or can operate from our warehouse facility in Willowbrook, Illinois. Large deliveries (up to semi loads) can be delivered to our operation and broken down for redistribution with smaller trucks that are best suited for the Central Business District.

Trucking + warehousing

Rush trucking operations work well in conjunction with our warehouse operations in providing “Just in Time” delivery of goods to local businesses. Gone are the days of manufacturing operations with huge facilities and months worth of supplies. We store supplies and deliver on-demand both with Milk Run and Rush Trucking options. With square foot rent being very high, firms are looking for storage and supply solutions. They can still purchase in bulk to get deep wholesale discounts; then store the material with us for delivery when needed.
