Our MissionThe promise behind every mile.
Our mission is to deliver safe, dependable, and adaptable transportation solutions by investing in exceptional people, modern equipment, and responsive service—protecting every shipment, strengthening every customer relationship, and creating lasting opportunities for our team.
2017Where our journey began
Our story
One company. Multiple ways to move freight forward.
Atlantic Pacific began operating in 2017 with a straightforward purpose: provide customers with responsive, professional transportation service and build a company where dependable people can succeed.
From our headquarters in Waukegan, Illinois, we coordinate freight across the United States through a versatile group of operations. Our experience includes open-deck transportation, dry van and power-only service, dedicated and time-sensitive linehaul, agricultural projects, temperature-controlled freight, intermodal-related moves, and specialized vehicle transportation.
Our growth has been shaped by customers whose needs rarely fit a one-size-fits-all model. Some require consistent year-round capacity; others need seasonal fleets, specialized equipment, precise appointments, complex route planning, or rapid operational changes. Atlantic Pacific responds by combining experienced dispatch, carefully selected drivers, well-maintained equipment, and direct communication from pickup through delivery.
We continue to invest in late-model equipment and recruit qualified professionals who understand that service is more than moving a load. It means protecting the freight, respecting the customer’s schedule, communicating early, documenting accurately, and representing every organization involved with professionalism.
Our goal is not simply to cover a load—it is to understand the assignment, adapt to the operation, and deliver the level of service that builds a lasting relationship.

Customer and network experience
Relationships that helped shape our company.
Across different periods of Atlantic Pacific’s history, our equipment and people have supported recognized organizations in parcel delivery, e-commerce, aerospace, agriculture, food distribution, intermodal logistics, and time-sensitive transportation.
Since 2017
Different relationships. Different chapters of our nine-year journey.
Time-critical aerospace transportation
UPS
During one chapter of our company’s history, Atlantic Pacific supported high-value aerospace shipments handled through UPS for Pratt & Whitney, a leading American aerospace manufacturer and global aircraft-engine company. UPS coordinated the transportation assignment, while Atlantic Pacific performed the over-the-road movement and worked directly with Pratt & Whitney personnel during delivery.
The specialized cargo moved straight through from Boston, Massachusetts, to West Palm Beach, Florida. Its value and strict schedule required a professional team-driving operation, continuous transit coverage, extremely precise pickup and delivery appointments, accurate documentation, and constant communication from dispatch through final delivery at Pratt & Whitney.
- UPS-coordinated shipment
- Direct Pratt & Whitney delivery
- High-value aerospace cargo
- Team-driver operation
- Boston to West Palm Beach
- Strict appointment control
E-commerce and power-only support
Amazon Freight
Atlantic Pacific has supported Amazon-connected freight during periods when flexible capacity, rapid trailer movement, and responsive coordination were essential. High-volume e-commerce operations demand equipment readiness and drivers who can adjust quickly as schedules and trailer availability change.
This work helped further develop our power-only capabilities and our ability to communicate effectively inside a fast-moving transportation environment. Our dependable execution, timely communication, and attention to network requirements also helped Atlantic Pacific maintain a strong performance score with Amazon Relay.
- Strong Amazon Relay performance
- Power-only capacity
- High-volume networks
- Responsive coordination
Rail-to-distribution container transportation
Maersk
Atlantic Pacific’s Maersk assignment involved transporting containers that arrived by rail at major intermodal terminals. Our drivers picked up those containers at key railway points and delivered them to Walmart distribution centers, connecting rail transportation with the final over-the-road portion of the shipment.
The work included short local runs throughout the Chicago area and required precise documentation, reliable appointment management, careful container handling, and close coordination between rail terminals, distribution facilities, and dispatch.
- Rail-terminal pickups
- Walmart distribution centers
- Chicago-area local runs
- Intermodal container freight
Growing together since 2023
Corteva Agriscience
Atlantic Pacific began its seasonal corn-harvest partnership with Corteva Agriscience in 2023. Since then, the relationship has grown stronger each year as we have supported several Corteva locations and taken on a larger assignment with every season.
These expanding programs require coordinated fleets, specialized belt trailers, detailed driver preparation, and daily communication between field locations, processing facilities, and our operations team. Consistently strong customer satisfaction has helped build Corteva’s confidence in our ability to adapt, perform safely, and deliver dependable service throughout an intense seasonal operation.

Food-distribution transportation
UNFI
Atlantic Pacific has supported food-distribution freight connected with UNFI during a period of our operating history. These assignments required close attention to appointments, equipment condition, weather, communication, and the dependable movement of freight through demanding distribution schedules.
The work reinforced the operating discipline required when customers and receiving facilities rely on consistent, carefully managed service.
- Food distribution
- Appointment management
- Equipment readiness
Produce and temperature-sensitive freight
Indianapolis Fruit
Our work connected with Indianapolis Fruit involved produce transportation where timing, equipment condition, and product integrity were especially important. Perishable freight leaves little room for communication gaps, avoidable delays, or insufficient attention to operating conditions.
This experience contributed to our ability to support specialized customer requirements with careful planning and professional delivery performance.

- Temperature-sensitive service
- Delivery discipline

These routes are supported by late-model sleeper tractors, qualified drivers, doubles-and-triples capability, responsive dispatch, and close daily coordination. The operation demonstrates our ability to maintain dependable departure schedules, adapt quickly when road or facility conditions change, and deliver consistent performance across a demanding regional network.
- Strong current partnership
- Year-round night routes
- Western regional network
- Doubles and triples
Parcel and linehaul network support
FedEx
At another point in our company’s history, Atlantic Pacific equipment supported freight connected with the FedEx network. Parcel transportation requires consistent communication, careful trailer handling, professional drivers, and dependable execution within tightly coordinated schedules.
This experience added to our understanding of large transportation networks where each individual movement contributes to the performance of the broader system.
