Freight that moves
when you said it would.
We're a Midwest carrier with our own equipment, our own drivers, and our own dispatch desk, not a broker passing your load down a chain. One number, one team, one account owner accountable for your freight.
Our story
Started with one truck.
Built on one promise.
In 2011, we put one truck on the road from Plainfield, Illinois with a simple idea, treat drivers and shippers the way you'd want to be treated. No shortcuts on equipment, no bait-and-switch on pay, no broker games on freight.
Fourteen years and 180+ trucks later, that's still the company. Family-owned. Always forward.
“You run good equipment, pay drivers fair, and answer the phone. Everything else is a shortcut.”
Founder • MNS1 ExpressStraight answers
Questions you're
actually asking.
Short, honest answers. If you don't see yours, ask the recruiter on the call.

02What CDL-A experience do you require?
We hire drivers who have at least 2 years experience, valid CDL-A, DOT-qualifying driving record, and ability to pass DOT physical plus drug screen.
03How is pay calculated, exactly?
Practical mile at your published per-mile rate. Detention after 2 hrs at $25/hr. Stop pay $35. Layover $150/day. Qualified drivers receive yearly pay raises. Weekly direct deposit every Friday.
