Local and Regional Trucking Solutions
Grane began with one man and one truck. In 1925, Hubert “Buzz” Grane seized on the opportunity to start a transportation company in Chicago, and as the area grew into the greatest city, Grane expanded as well into the full-service company it is today. As we have grown exponentially, Grane continues to invest in our customers and offer comprehensive Chicagoland and Midwest truckload services.
Grane offers more than 800 pieces of equipment in all shapes and sizes, including lift-gate, 53-foot trailers, flatbeds and specialty vehicles.
- 250-mile truckload services
- 275 power units and 550 trailers
- Expedited services
- Peddle runs
- Lift-gate deliveries
- 16 acres of secure trailer parking
- Cutting-edge GPS tracking
- 200 Professional Drivers

All drivers carry a personal device that not only serves as an electronic logging device (ELD), but also allows electronic dispatching and system-integrated communication. Utilizing this technology streamlines distribution and offers time-saving efficiencies.
