Our company’s two principals have a total of 75 years in the industry, including long-distance transportation, trucking operations, and truck driving.

WHAT TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DO WE EXCEL IN?
Over time, our company has hauled just about every type of heavy equipment in existence across Illinois. Our well-qualified and prepared drivers are adept at dealing with all Illinois transport challenges, on the open road, and in congested city areas. Drivers skillfully negotiate winding interstate highways through the Windy City, as well as ice-covered state roads in rural areas of Illinois. Heavy traffic, weigh stations, and underpasses are properly navigated by skilled truckers, who are capable of making the right decisions on the fly. You can leave your heavy load to us with perfect confidence. We are uniquely qualified to help you with the following transportation services.
SPECIALIZED TRANSPORT & HAULING SERVICES
Through our strong relationships with larger carriers, we have access to a wide variety of special-use hauling equipment to meet your transport needs. If your Illinois hauling job calls for flatbed and step deck trucks, along with stretch versions of each, Osage has the capacity to do the job right. Our team handles every trucking assignment with proper care and appropriate equipment to ensure delivery as scheduled. For your peace of mind, we stay in direct contact with drivers, for precise control not possible through brokerages. When you work with Osage, you can rely on speaking with a real person, 24/7.
OVERSIZE LOADS & HEAVY EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT
Wide loads are a fact of life in Illinois trucking, and Osage offers expert oversized load-hauling, all across the state and nation, and throughout Canada. No matter how outsize the load, our team can bring your heaviest and largest pieces of equipment safely through any terrain necessary. We are intimately familiar with the topography of every route, the varying road regulations, and permitting requirements that change from region to region. We ensure that your oversize loads reach your desired destination safely and on time. We employ drivers who stay up to date on all conditions, either due to weather or recent road works, and are prepared to make use of all the necessary equipment to travel safely and swiftly for your convenience. Drivers will have chains available, and make use of them on their tires when conditions call for their usage.
LOGISTICS & TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT
Complex logistics made simple. That’s what you need from your trucking and freight service—and Osage is focused on delivering your load without a hitch. Our full-service transport solutions include detailed logistical plans tailored to the needs of your company, road conditions, Illinois weather challenges, and more. We get every detail right, using state-of-the-art TMS (transportation management systems) so that any course corrections are transparent and effective. Thanks to our dedicated transportation management system, our drivers will be aware of the location of all 35 weigh stations across the state of Illinois. This knowledge extends to not only planning for their use, but being aware which locations are open at a given time, and planning accordingly.
