Operating authority
01 — Freight
What we haul
Straightforward dry van work, run properly. If it fits in a 53-foot van and it needs to arrive when it was promised, it is in scope.
02
Palletized & boxed
Standard palletized freight, cartons, and packaged goods, loaded and secured to shipper requirements.
03
Regional Midwest
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Iowa lanes with predictable turn times out of the Chicago area.
04
Long-haul & contract lanes
48-state authority for over-the-road runs, and recurring lanes for shippers who want the same truck every week.
One driver, one standard
Your freight is never
somebody else’s problem.
At a large carrier your load is one of hundreds, passed between a dispatcher, a planner and whichever driver happened to be empty. Here it is the only load on the truck, moved by the person who answers the phone. That is the whole proposition — and the reason the updates are accurate.
02 — Company
A carrier you can
actually reach.
IVA Transportation INC is a licensed motor carrier registered in Darien, Illinois, operating under USDOT 3923158 and MC-1451757 with authority to haul property across the lower 48.
We are deliberately small. One well-maintained tractor and a 53′ dry van, operated by the owner. That means we turn down loads we cannot run properly rather than covering them badly, and it means the answer you get about your freight comes from the cab, not from a screen two states away.
Brokers and shippers who work with us tend to come back for the same reason: the truck shows up, the paperwork is clean, and nobody has to chase anyone.
Owner-operated
The person driving is the person you booked with.
58,876 miles
Run in 2025, as reported to FMCSA on our MCS-150.
Single unit
Your load is not competing with thirty others for attention.
Darien, Illinois
Chicago-area base, well placed for Midwest and OTR lanes.
03 — Standards
How the truck is run
Nothing exotic. The things that keep freight undamaged, legal and on time, done every single trip.
01
Pre- and post-trip inspections
Documented DVIRs on every run. Defects get fixed before the truck moves, not after.
02
Hours-of-service compliance
ELD-logged, FMCSA-compliant hours. We quote transit times we can legally run.
03
Preventive maintenance
Scheduled service intervals rather than run-to-failure, so breakdowns do not become your delay.
04
Cargo securement
Load bars, straps and blocking as the freight requires, loaded to the shipper’s pattern.
05
Direct communication
One phone number. Updates at pickup, in transit and at delivery, without being asked twice.
06
Clean paperwork
Signed BOLs and PODs returned promptly so billing is not held up on our end.
Careers
Drive with IVA
We are a small carrier growing carefully, and we would rather add one driver who fits than four who do not. If you run clean, communicate before you are asked, and treat the equipment like it is yours, we would like to talk.
