About Ferrara

A family-owned and operated carrier in Algonquin, Illinois. Our name is on the door — and on every delivery.

Our story

Family-owned. Driver-run. Shipper-trusted.

Ferrara Transportation is a family-owned and operated trucking company based in Algonquin, IL, serving shippers across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Missouri.

We built our work around short- and intermediate-length hauls — the regional freight that keeps Midwestern businesses moving. That focus means our drivers know the lanes, our equipment is spec'd for the work, and our customers talk to people who know their freight by name, not by ticket number.

When you call Ferrara, we pick up the phone. When we take a load, we treat it like our name is on it — because it is.
