Dry Van Capacity Your Supply Chain Can Rely On.
Paragon Freight is a Midwest-based, asset-based carrier delivering full truckload dry van freight nationwide. We run on direct relationships, not spot market transactions — 90% of our capacity is committed to shippers who need consistent, repeatable service.
Loads delivered yearly
Capacity You Can Plan Around
We build our network around committed shipper relationships — not spot market transactions. When you need freight moved consistently, on schedule, and with accountability, that’s what we deliver.
Committed Capacity, Not Spot Coverage
We assign experienced drivers to dedicated lanes and build capacity around your volume. Coverage stays consistent through peak seasons, driver turnover doesn’t disrupt your network, and the person who answers your call already knows your freight.
Visibility & Integration
Full shipment tracking through Project44 and FourKites, compatible with most major TMS platforms. EDI and API data flows give your freight team real-time status without extra overhead. Fleet-wide Samsara telematics provide operational visibility from pickup to delivery.
Operational Accountability
We track on-time performance internally every week. When a lane slips, the team that owns it hears about it first. Structured weekly reviews, quarterly planning, and direct escalation paths — no layers between you and the people moving your freight.
