EM Transfer Services

EM Transfer Services is an asset-based carrier founded in 2018 and headquartered in Addison, Illinois. The company operates its own fleet of dry van trailers and provides transportation and logistics services for shippers who need to move palletized freight, typically in the range of 1 to 15+ pallets. EM Transfer is authorized to haul general freight, metal (sheets, coils, rolls), building materials, machinery, beverages, and paper products, among other cargo types.

Services include dry van truckload, consolidation/LTL through a point-to-point network, drop trailer programs, warehousing, intermodal, and private fleet solutions. The consolidation network is designed to reduce handling and damage by minimizing freight touches between origin and destination. Drop trailer service supports high-volume shippers and seasonal demand with pre-positioned trailers for flexible loading and unloading.

Shippers commonly use EM Transfer for dry van shipments where freight protection and on-time delivery are priorities — particularly palletized goods like building materials, beverages, paper products, and metal coils. The company's asset-based model and drop trailer availability make it a practical choice for manufacturers, distributors, and other shippers with steady freight volumes in the Midwest and beyond.
