Dry Van Freight Transportation. Done Right.
Paragon Freight moves dry van freight across the Midwest and nationwide. We run dedicated lanes, maintain modern equipment, and deliver on schedule — consistently.
Capacity You Can Count On, Lanes You Can Plan Around
90% of our freight moves on direct shipper relationships — not load boards, not spot markets. We assign experienced drivers to dedicated lanes and build our capacity around your volume. That means coverage stays consistent through peak seasons, driver turnover doesn't disrupt your network, and the person who answers your call already knows your freight.
More About Us
Dedicated Lanes
We build driver assignments around committed freight. Your loads get planned coverage, not last-minute scrambles from a dispatch board.
Direct Communication
Your point of contact knows your lanes and your requirements. No call centers, no ticket queues. Direct phone, direct answers, proactive updates when conditions change.
Consistent Execution
We track on-time pickup and delivery internally and hold our operations team accountable through structured weekly reviews. When issues come up, you hear from us first.
Where We Run.
Paragon's network is built around committed lanes, not spot freight. Paragon operates a nationwide dry van network anchored in the Chicago area, with dense coverage across the Midwest, Southeast, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Texas corridors.
Midwest Hub
Local Chicago and regional Midwest coverage with capacity into Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Indiana, and eastern Nebraska. High-frequency service with consistent turnaround and strong return-lane coverage back to the Chicago hub.
Central Corridor
Capacity through southwest Missouri, southeast Kansas, and the broader central corridor, with established return lanes into the Kansas City region and Nebraska. Dedicated service into the Denver market, where Paragon maintains a strong outbound presence and competitive positioning on inbound freight.
Southeast
Consistent freight coverage into Georgia and the Carolinas, with reliable backhaul into the Midwest. Round-trip capacity into Savannah, GA integrates with our Southeast network, giving shippers dependable two-way service.
East Coast
Premium corridor service into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with established return lanes back to the Midwest and central corridor. East Coast and Northeast inbound freight is priced competitively and moves on consistent schedules.
Texas
Dedicated lanes into and out of Texas with consistent coverage across the state's major freight markets.

Modern Equipment, Maintained to Standard.
Our fleet runs primarily Freightliner Cascadias, International LTs, and Volvo VNLs — all late-model, GPS-tracked, and maintained on a preventive schedule. Our 53-foot dry van trailers are inspected and turned between loads. We don't run aging equipment and we don't defer maintenance.
Full shipment tracking through Project44 and FourKites integration, compatible with most major TMS platforms. We support EDI and API data flows so your freight team gets real-time status without extra overhead. Fleet-wide GPS tracking and in-cab camera systems powered by Samsara provide complete operational visibility from pickup to delivery.
Our fleet meets or exceeds current DOT and FMCSA standards. Every unit is maintained on a preventative schedule with fleet-wide telematics monitoring through Samsara. Equipment condition is a direct reflection of operational discipline — and we treat it that way.
Built for Complex Supply Chains.
Paragon hauls freight for companies across multiple industries — from raw materials to finished consumer products. Different industries mean different requirements: appointment scheduling, lumper coordination, driver compliance protocols, documentation standards. Our operations team handles that complexity daily.
