Why partner with GooseLine

We work as an extension of your shipping and logistics team.

We vet every carrier before it hauls your freight: FMCSA authority, insurance confirmed with the insurer, safety and inspection history, and fraud and double-brokering screens. If they don't clear, they don't haul your load.

Questions shippers ask us

If yours isn't here, call 630-777-2703 and ask. You'll get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

What kind of freight do you move?

Full truckload, primarily 53' dry van, flatbed and reefer, out of the Midwest to anywhere in the lower 48. We also handle step-deck and oversized loads with permits, expedited and hotshot runs, and short-radius last-mile moves.

How do you vet your carriers?

Every carrier clears a multi-point check before it touches your freight: active FMCSA operating authority, current cargo and auto liability insurance verified directly with the insurer, safety and inspection history, and screening for double-brokering and identity fraud.

Our carrier agreement requires at least $100,000 in cargo coverage, $1,000,000 auto liability and $1,000,000 general liability, plus workers' compensation. If a carrier can't clear that bar, it doesn't haul your load.

What areas do you cover?

We're based in Hinckley, Illinois, an hour west of Chicago, and we know Midwest lanes best: Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Ohio. Coverage runs nationwide across the lower 48.

What insurance and bond do you carry?

We carry a $100,000 contingent cargo policy, $50,000 broker errors & omissions coverage and a $75,000 BMC-84 surety bond. Every carrier we book also carries their own cargo insurance, and we verify limits and coverage before dispatching.

Certificates available on request.

How will I know where my load is?

You shouldn't have to chase us. Pickup, in-transit and delivery confirmations come to you automatically, and if something goes sideways you hear it from us first, with the fix already in motion, not as a problem dumped in your lap.

How fast can you get me a rate?

Quote requests submitted through this site get a rate back the same day. Need it sooner, or have a truck falling off today? Call 630-777-2703. That's the fastest way to reach us.
