Cushing Transportation

Cushing Transportation We serve all users of intermodal, including rail, IMC, LTL/truckload carriers and steamship lines. At the age of 100+ years, Cushing Transportation, Inc. J. Mr.

has become an important regional intermodal carrier serving Chicago and numerous locations within a 300 mile radius of the windy city. It started as a service that picked up & delivered goods in the late 1800's in the Chicago area. The horses clopped their hooves on the brick roads, pulling a wagon full of ice, milk and any other supply. By the 1900's, when trucks were invented, John J. Cushing Tr

ucking Company began their successful journey as a local cartage carrier. Using "semi's" to haul goods had created a boom in the trucking industry. By 1943, John J. Cushing Trucking had survived the Great Depression and remained a leader in local transportation. A young man, by the name of John R. Pacella, took a job as one of their truck drivers. A hard worker and charismatic by nature, Mr. Pacella's steadfast disposition led him into an opportunity to purchase the John. Cushing Trucking Company. In 1967, Mr. Pacella commenced his investment into Cushing Trucking by paving the way for it's future success. He is credited for preserving and expanding Cushing Trans. His endless appetite for progress was fueled not only by the truck business, but by his affection for his family. Pacella will forever be remembered as a family man and charitable individual. The company has remained a family business and currently operates out of Orland Park, Illinois by two of his grandsons. The company's growth and continual service is based off of Mr. John R. Pacella's enthusiastic character.

“Between the weak who have no reason to win and the strong who have no excuse to lose, the victory is sure to belong to the brave.” – Benito Juarez (Former Mexican president during the French intervention, Juarez highlights the courage and determination that led the outnumbered Mexican army to victory. This quote reminds us that even against seemingly insurmountable odds, bravery can prevail.) (Cited from olemex.com).
