Cushing was started in 1867 by a Chicago family in order to transport goods via horse & wagon. At the turn of the century, the shipping industry boomed, and "Cushing" remained a fundamental pillar in Chicago. Exchanging ownership only twice, after Mr. Cushing, the company fluently continued the "ma & pa shop" quality. We are proudly celebrating 150 years of service in Chicago and the surrounding area! Cushing is always pushing towards more effective & efficient ways to move your freight.
