HMD

HMD Trucking is a Chicago-based freight carrier founded in 1998, operating a fleet of over 500 modern semi trucks across the contiguous United States. The company serves shippers across a range of industries with OTR, regional, and local trucking services, and is part of the broader HMD Enterprises group, which also includes freight brokerage (HMD Transport) and freight factoring (HMD Financial) operations.

HMD operates dry van and flatbed equipment, with a dedicated flatbed division (HMD LLC) established in 2018 for open-deck hauling. The carrier also handles hazmat loads following its acquisition of Benefit Trucking Inc., which brought hazmat-certified drivers and power-only capabilities into the fleet. Through its brokerage arm, HMD can arrange additional modes including reefer, expedited, intermodal, LTL, and partial truckload shipments via a network of partner carriers nationwide.

Shippers typically use HMD for dry van and flatbed full truckload moves across long-haul and regional lanes. The company is well-suited for businesses that need reliable asset-based capacity out of the Midwest, as well as those shipping flatbed freight such as building materials, machinery, or steel. The hazmat authorization also makes HMD an option for shippers moving regulated goods that require certified handling.
