Freight moves because thousands of small things happen on time. Tight dispatch, sharp ETAs, clean communication with drivers, brokers, and shippers.
Home/ About
Fifteen Years.
Same Yard.
We don't chase trends. We run freight. Here's the story behind the yard at 2700 Division Street.
Our Story
Built in
Built in
Chicago.
Yukos Inc was founded in 2009 as a family-owned freight operation with a simple idea: run consistent lanes, treat drivers like people, and never grow past the point where we can still answer every call ourselves.
In December 2013, we received interstate operating authority from the FMCSA and started running our first loads from Melrose Park out across the country. Same corridors we still run today. Same yard. Mostly the same people.
Over the last decade-plus we've built out a full-service mechanic shop on-site, a pre-loaded trailer program for owner operators, and a dispatch team that knows every truck in the fleet by its run number. We run about thirty trucks. We could run more. We don't, because bigger isn't better — reliable is.
If you've ever driven for a 500-truck fleet where dispatch didn't know your name, you already understand why people stay here.

The Road So Far
From First Load
From First Load
to 15+ Years.
2009
Yukos Inc Founded
The company incorporates as a family-owned freight operation in Illinois. The plan from day one: stay small enough to stay personal, big enough to run steady.
December 2013
Interstate Authority Granted
FMCSA issues MC 849571 and USDOT 2459365. The first Chicago-to-East-Coast loads roll out of Melrose Park within weeks.
2015–2020
Expansion of the Yard
On-site mechanic shop comes online. Pre-loaded trailer program launches for owner operators. Fleet grows to its current scale of steady, well-maintained trucks.
Today
Same Corridor, Still Running
Fifteen-plus years in, still family-run, still routing freight on the same long-haul corridors — East Coast and across the country. Still answering the phone ourselves.
What We Believe
Three Things
Three Things
We Don't Skip.
02 / People
People First
Drivers are the business. Owner operators are partners, not gig workers. Dispatch knows your name, your truck, and what time your kid gets home Friday.
03 / Consistency
Consistency
Same lanes, same rates, same trucks kept in the same shape. We'd rather be predictable than promising. Predictable builds businesses.
