Services
Since 1925, Grane has been perfecting the art of providing transportation and logistics services. Read our history and learn how we evolved from humble beginnings into a premier transportation company. We promote a culture of safety. As one of our core values, safety is always a priority.

For more than 90 years, we have been Chicagoland's go-to provider for local and regional trucking. When you think Chicago trucking, think Grane! Let Grane help you gain control over your fleet without the costly capital investment and administrative hassles that come with ownership. Our bonded container freight station and proximity to O'Hare and Rockford international airports makes Grane the best choice for Chicagoland shippers.
Grane Logistics Express, or GLX, is committed to meeting all your logistics and transportation needs. Count on us to effectively and efficiently manage anything - from across-town deliveries to multiple truckloads moving across North America, and everything in between. Serving all 50 states plus Canada and Mexico, GLX gets your product there, gets it there on time and gets it done right.
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.
As the trucking industry becomes more regulated, equipment and fuel prices continue to rise and driver shortages persist, more and more businesses prefer not to deal with the increasingly complicated transportation market. That is when they turn to Grane. Grane Transportation is proud to offer this value-added service to our customers.

Payment due on 7/16, check lost in the mail (LOL). Stated company policy will not stop payment and re-issue until 8/20. Seems like an easy way to run out payments from 30 days to 60 days. Carriers be aware. Update: After waiting 30 days so they can stop payment and issue a new check, they want statements with a notary stamp before they will issue a new check. Total stall tactic for a lousy 400.00 invoice.

Got a load from Matthew Ullrich, was told that load was supposed to be palletized and it wasn't! Took almost 9 hours to load and they did not pay detention, because customer shows our truck was late, we have GPS records and BOL with times that show different. There was an issue at delivery as well, they sent my driver from Chicago to Bensenville for $50 only and it took over 3 hours to get empty and detention was denied there too! Horrible! Would not recommend working with them ever!

Very quick unload . 1 hour and done . Was on my appt time. The place is located under the bridge , clearance is very high . From I-280 take the exit S Central Ave , then left on Roosevelt and next left on S Laramie ave. (Be careful , when you will make a left turn on Laramie... stay on your right road !!!!, coz you have to go under the bridge)... same way to get out .
