About us
A freight carrier that answers for what it promises
APR Transports started running general freight out of the Midwest. Today we move everything from local distribution to oversize project loads — with company-owned equipment and a stable driving team.

What defines us
Own equipment, short decision lines
Because we do not broker out the trucking, we are never waiting on a third party to make good on a commitment. When a lane goes sideways we fix it in-house the same day: swap the truck, move the pickup window or add a backup unit.
Every load carries service documentation — rate confirmation, BOL, insurance certificate and signed proof of delivery — available to the customer, because a delivery without paperwork is not a complete delivery.
The customer's freight is our freight
We hold handling and care standards we do not delegate to third parties.
If we cannot make the window, we do not quote it
We would rather turn down an impossible appointment than miss the delivery.
One point of contact
Every load has a named dispatcher accountable for the outcome end to end.
