When You Call, We Answer
All our dispatchers and office staff work here in the U.S. When you call, you won’t sit on hold or explain your load to a call center. You’ll talk to someone who knows the routes, the freight, and often the driver by name.
A Trucking Company With Our Own Trucks Since 2012
Real trucks. Real people. And when you call, a real person picks up.
We started Pride USA in 2012 in Lake Bluff, Illinois. The idea was simple: own the trucks we run and treat people right. We still work that way today.

Our story
Asset-Based Trucking. Built on Trust. Run by People Who Answer the Phone.
Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Lake Bluff, Illinois, Pride USA Inc. is an asset-based American trucking company built on a simple principle: own what you run, and treat people right.
Who We Are
For over a decade, Pride USA has operated its own fleet — historically running 40-70 units, with new equipment added every month as part of our current growth phase. We’re not a broker moving other people’s trucks; we’re the carrier, and that means accountability starts and ends with us.
How we treat people
People Come First
Freight moves best when drivers and customers trust the company behind the truck.
Growing Without Changing Who We Are
We’re adding 10 trucks a month and hiring more people for safety, HR, and dispatch, so nobody gets overlooked.
As we grow, the rules stay the same: be on time, put safety first, and treat drivers and customers with respect.
Partners We Can Count On
We work with a small group of brokers we trust. They help us find steady, regular freight. Our drivers get routes they can plan their lives around, and our partners get a carrier that shows up, load after load.
How we work
How We Work
Three habits we’ve kept since day one.
-
A clear rate, fast
If the route works for us, you’ll usually get a clear rate in about 30 minutes. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you right away.
-
We keep in touch after pickup
You get a tracking link, updates without having to ask, and a phone number that doesn’t go to voicemail when things get tough.
-
We take care of our trucks and drivers
We run newer trucks, follow ELD rules, and put safety first, for our drivers and for your freight.
