Who we are for broker partners

Short version: we move freight. We don’t disappear after the rate con.

PRIDEUSA (Pride USA Inc) is headquartered in Lake Bluff, Illinois, with a core Midwest footprint in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan — and dry van / specialty capacity across all 48 contiguous states.

Our fleet is built around late-model Volvo power units with Motive ELD. Trailers include dry van, reefer, flatbed, conestoga, step deck, and RGN so you can match equipment to the freight instead of forcing every load into a 53′ dry box.

When you tender to us, you’re talking to an asset-based carrier with in-house dispatch — not a virtual network that re-brokers your load three times before a truck shows up.

Brokers come to us for three reasons that rarely change:

  • Speed on the number — workable lanes get a clear rate, usually within about 30 minutes.
  • Clean setup — W9, COI, authority, and packet without a week of follow-ups.
  • Visibility after pickup — shareable tracking your customer can open without a portal account.

If a lane isn’t a fit, we’d rather say so early than burn your customer’s appointment window. Prefer that over “checking with the driver” for six hours.

Why us

Why brokers book PRIDEUSA

Practical advantages when you’re covering freight under a clock.

Fast rate confirms

Send origin, destination, equipment, weight, and dates. On workable dry van, flatbed, conestoga, and reefer freight we come back with a real number — not a placeholder “ballpark” that evaporates at cover.

Document-ready

Need the carrier packet for onboarding? Ask once. W9, certificate of insurance, MC/DOT details, and authority go out the same day so your compliance team isn’t waiting on us.

Tracking you can send

After booking, share a token tracking link from prideusainc.com/tracking. Your customer sees status without logging into our portal — fewer “where’s my truck?” emails for everyone.

One dispatch desk

Phone, WhatsApp, and email hit the same team. Updates go out before the shipper has to chase you. After-hours support is available when freight doesn’t stop at 5 p.m.

Equipment that shows up

Late-model Volvo tractors, maintained with pride. Motive ELD compliance. Fewer “broke down / wrong trailer” surprises on appointment freight.

Midwest core, national reach

Strong local and regional capacity in IL / WI / IN / MI, with nationwide dry van and specialty lanes when your customer needs the long haul covered cleanly.

Fleet

Equipment we cover

Match the trailer to the freight — FTL, drop trailer, and specialty moves.

Dry Van 53′ · FTL & drop trailer · 48 states
Flatbed / Step Deck Open deck · tarp-ready crews
Conestoga Weather-protected specialty freight
Reefer / RGN Temp-controlled & heavy / specialized

Dry van is our everyday workhorse — full truckload and drop-trailer programs for shippers who need dock flexibility. Flatbed and step deck cover building materials, steel, machinery, and other open-deck freight with crews who know how to tarp and secure.

Conestoga keeps weather-sensitive freight protected without a full reefer bill. Reefer handles temperature-controlled product; RGN and specialized gear cover heavy or awkward loads that won’t fit a standard deck. Not sure which trailer fits? Send the commodity and dimensions — we’ll tell you straight.

Coverage

Lanes & freight we like

What tends to book clean — and what we usually pass on.

Good fit

  • Midwest local / regional dry van with predictable appointments
  • 48-state dry van FTL with clear weight and accessorials
  • Drop trailer programs for consistent shippers
  • Flatbed / conestoga with tarp and securement defined up front
  • Reefer with set temp range and product notes
  • Loads that need shareable tracking for the end customer

Usually a pass

  • Phantom capacity / “team somewhere in Ohio” speculation
  • Loads that require us to double-broker to cover
  • Incomplete specs (no weight, no equipment, no dates)
  • Unrealistic rate expectations on tight appointment freight
  • Hazmat we are not set up for — ask first if unsure

FAQ

Broker FAQ

Straight answers before you send the first load.

Are you asset-based or a broker?

We are an asset-based carrier (MC# 875229). We operate our own equipment and dispatch. We are not a double-broker shop covering your freight with mystery capacity.

How fast do you send the carrier packet?

Same day in normal business hours. Request it above or email [email protected] — W9, COI, and authority details are ready.

Can my customer track without a portal login?

Yes. We issue a shareable tracking link after the load is booked. See Track Shipment.

Do you do drop trailer?

Yes. Drop trailer is part of our service mix for shippers who need flexible load/unload windows. Mention it when you request a rate or packet.

What about deferred / appointment loading?

Drivers and partners can request a deferred loading window on our Deferred Loading Appointment page. Dispatch confirms date and time before anyone rolls empty to the yard.

Who do I call after hours?

Dispatch at +1 (847) 702-8181 or WhatsApp the same number. We’re set up for freight that doesn’t wait for Monday morning.
