We speak the truth, even when it's hard. Transparent with our customers, our teammates, and ourselves. Say what you mean. Do what you say.
We strive to be better in everything — from driving to dispatching to decision-making. Better every day, or it's just another day.
We take ownership. When we say we'll do something, we do it. We don't point fingers — we solve problems. Own it. Fix it. Finish it.
We treat every person with dignity — drivers, dispatchers, customers, partners. We listen, we show up, we stay humble. Respect is the fuel that keeps our culture moving.
We're in this together. We support each other, communicate clearly, and back each other up. No ego, no drama — just unity. One company. One team. One goal.
Freight is what we move, but people are who we serve — with empathy, care, and commitment to doing it right every time. Freight with heart. Service with soul.
We move dry van freight across the Midwest and the continental U.S. Our customers count on us to pick up on time, deliver on time, and communicate when it matters. We treat that as the baseline — not a selling point.
Planned, repeatable freight across the Midwest and beyond. Your loads run on predictable schedules, not one-off bids.
We track on-time performance internally every week. When a lane slips, the team that owns it hears about it first.
Late-model tractors and 53' dry van trailers on a PM schedule. Less downtime, fewer surprises, cleaner freight.
Named dispatchers who answer the phone. Proactive check calls, real-time status, and honest updates — good news or bad.
Paragon runs new equipment on consistent lanes. We don’t ask drivers to chase loads — we build stable, predictable work and pay on time, every time. If you hold a CDL-A and want a company that operates with integrity, there’s a place for you here.
Paragon is a dry van carrier. We move 53' dry van freight for Fortune 500 shippers, national 3PLs, and manufacturers across the continental United States, with a strong base in the Midwest.
Our headquarters is in Burr Ridge, IL, with a terminal in Sauk Village, IL. We run freight throughout the Midwest and nationwide across the lower 48 states.
We are an asset-based motor carrier. We own our authority, our tractors, and our trailers. Roughly 90% of our freight comes from direct shipper relationships — not load boards or middlemen.
We track on-time pickup and delivery internally every week and review it in our operational meetings. Named dispatchers provide proactive check calls and real-time status updates so shippers never have to chase us for an answer.
Company drivers get consistent lanes, late-model equipment, weekly pay on time, and predictable home time. Owner operators get steady freight, fair settlements, and a team that treats them like partners — not numbers. Learn more on our Company Drivers and Owner Operators pages.
The fastest way is to contact us or call our office. Tell us the lane, equipment needs, and volume, and our team will follow up with capacity and pricing — usually the same business day.
