About Us

FAMILY-OWNED. FREIGHT-FOCUSED. PEOPLE-FIRST.

Our Story

McLaughlin Freight Services was founded on a simple belief: that a freight company could be built on relationships, not just transactions. Based in Mediapolis, Iowa, we've spent more than 20 years earning the trust of shippers, carriers, and drivers across the United States.

As a family-owned and operated business, we bring a personal touch to every load we move. We know our customers by name, we answer our phones, and we stand behind every commitment we make. That's not a marketing line — it's how we've done business from day one.

Whether you're a shipper looking for a reliable carrier, a driver searching for a company that treats you right, or a carrier partner seeking consistent freight, McLaughlin Freight is built for you.

Dependability

When you count on McLaughlin, we show up. On time, on schedule, and with the communication you need to stay informed.

Family Values

Being family-owned means we care about more than the bottom line. We treat every person in our network the way we'd want to be treated.
