Nussbaum Transportation

Overview

Nussbaum Transportation Services is a 100% employee-owned trucking company based in Hudson, Illinois. Founded in 1945, it specializes in full truckload (FTL) dry van transportation across the continental United States, focusing on dedicated and irregular route services for Midwest manufacturers. The company has evolved from its origins as a Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) operation to a dedicated truckload service provider, with significant milestones including the launch of its truckload division in 1968 and transitioning to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2018.

Nussbaum operates a fleet of approximately 450–550 trucks and over 1,500 trailers. It is recognized for exceptional driver retention and has received multiple awards for service quality, including Hall of Fame status and the 2025 CCJ Innovator of the Year for its SalesScope pricing software. The company prioritizes stable relationships with its customers, focusing on dedicated operations and semi-dedicated services to meet the needs of manufacturers and distributors in the Midwest.
