A DIRECT-RUN FLATBED CARRIER.
Run Direct hauls real open-deck freight out of the Chicago area — transformers, machinery, and industrial loads — with our own trucks, our own yard, and our own drivers.
No Flatbed Experience Required · Full Securement Training Provided
REAL FREIGHT. REAL TRUCKS. REAL DRIVERS.
Run Direct is a flatbed carrier operating out of Zion, Illinois, just north of Chicago. Our fleet runs 2024 Freightliner Cascadias, and our drivers move heavy, open-deck freight — transformers, industrial machinery, and building materials — across the lower 48.
We're not a freight broker and we're not a mega-fleet. We run our own trucks, staff our own yard, and put drivers in direct contact with a recruiter and a dispatch team who know the freight.
