Our Story

Built From the Ground Up — With Purpose

Shadow Freight LLC was founded with one clear goal: to operate a trucking company that shippers and brokers could actually depend on. Not just on paper, but in practice — through consistent communication, on-time delivery, and clean, professional operations.

Headquartered at 1699 Wall Street, Suite 105, Mount Prospect, Illinois, we serve the greater Chicago metropolitan area and move freight across the United States. Our fleet of 3 power units may be focused, but our commitment to service is anything but small.

We registered with the FMCSA under USDOT #3965256 and MC-1480039, and have maintained active authority with a clean safety record since day one. Every driver is held to federal compliance standards, every load is tracked, and every client gets the transparency they deserve.
