Our History
Timeline Transportation was born out the necessity of a company that listened to its employees. In 2014, we opened our doors for business. We started with a small fleet of flatbeds doing several shipments a week with a handful of drivers. Our family owned company managed to develop relationships with customers and employees that far succeeded our expectations. As we contributed to our work, our business grew.
Today, we accommodate flatbed, dry van, refrigerated, expedite shipping. With hundreds of shipments weekly, we transport LTL and FLT. We come from the midwest, but we service all 48 states. We even venture into Canada.
Since then, we have shipped hundreds of tons of goods across the country safely. We are leading Chicagoland area experts on flatbed and expedite shipping. We fulfill our promise of listening to our employees by continuously offering growth opportunities.
