Expedited Freight Chicago — Same-Day Ground Shipping from Oak Brook

When a shipment has to leave a Chicago-area dock today, you need a broker who knows the region and answers the phone. Pro Express, Inc. has coordinated expedited ground freight from our Oak Brook office since 2007, matching every load with a vetted carrier from our network — from a sprinter van for a single skid to a box truck for a full load.

Expedited Freight Across Chicagoland

Chicago is one of the busiest freight hubs in the country, and that volume is exactly why standard LTL networks slow down here: freight is sorted, cross-docked and re-loaded before it moves. Expedited freight skips those steps. A carrier from our network picks up at your dock and drives directly to the consignee.

We coordinate pickups throughout the city and suburbs — from the O’Hare cargo area in Elk Grove Village, Bensenville and Franklin Park to the industrial corridors along I-55, I-80 and I-88, and the logistics parks around Joliet and Bolingbrook.

Same-Day and Next-Day Options

Most Chicago-area expedited loads fall into two windows:

Same-day: pickup and delivery on the same business day — local runs, suburb-to-suburb transfers and regional lanes such as Milwaukee, Indianapolis or Rockford.
Next-day: pickup today, delivery tomorrow morning — common for lanes to Detroit, St. Louis, Minneapolis or Columbus.

Tell us your pickup time and deadline, and we will recommend the right vehicle and timing for the lane.

Vehicles We Arrange Through Our Carrier Network

Matching the vehicle to the freight keeps your shipment fast and cost-efficient. Through our carrier network we arrange:

Sprinter and cargo vans for boxes, parts and one to a few skids.
Box trucks / straight trucks with liftgates and pallet jacks for palletized freight.
Hot-shot pickups for oversized or heavy items that need a dedicated run.

When Your Regular Carrier Falls Through

A missed pickup at 2 p.m. can stop a production line or break a customer promise. Emergency carrier backup is one of the most common reasons Chicago businesses call us. We source an available carrier from our network, confirm the pickup and keep you updated until the delivery is signed for.
