If you ship on the same lanes every week, a dedicated freight program from AIA Trucking gives you capacity you can plan around: familiar drivers, the equipment your freight needs and one dispatch team that knows your business.
What a dedicated program includes
- Assigned trucks and drivers on your recurring lanes, so the same people show up at your docks.
- Dry van or reefer equipment, matched to what you ship. We run both, so one program can cover dry and refrigerated lanes.
- A schedule built around your volume: the number of loads you ship, on the days you ship them.
- One point of contact in dispatch who knows your appointments, your contacts and your receiving rules.
- GPS tracking on every truck through its ELD, with updates whenever you need them.

Where we run
Our home base is Chicagoland, and our trucks run every week across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Kentucky and Tennessee. We also haul regularly to and from Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Pennsylvania and Texas. Most of our loads run between 300 and 1,000 miles, so we cover both regional and long-haul freight.
We haul within the United States only; we do not run freight into Canada or Mexico.
Why AIA for dedicated freight
- A family-oriented carrier since 2011, based in Burr Ridge, Illinois, near Chicago.
- Company drivers and owner-operators who know the Midwest and Southeast lanes.
- Reefers and dry vans, so one carrier can cover both kinds of freight.
- Dispatch around the clock at (708) 395-6100.
