Apollo Messenger Service Inc

Operating since 1998 out of Wheaton, with a load range the company states as envelope up to twelve standard pallets. The fleet is sprinter vans for nimble same-day work, box trucks with lift-gate service at the pallet end, and cargo vans and cars on standby.

Dispatch is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week — worth confirming before you need it, because an after-hours voicemail is the more common arrangement and reads the same on a website.

Coverage runs across Chicagoland and the surrounding Illinois counties plus metro Detroit, with long-haul runs to surrounding states handled on request rather than as a standing lane. That two-metro footprint is the distinctive part: an Illinois-to-Michigan run is ordinary work here rather than an exception.

On the tracking side they advertise real-time tracking, proof of delivery, barcode and tote scanning, and RMA tracking — relevant if you are moving returns rather than outbound freight, since a returns program lives or dies on whether each tote is scanned.

They also describe carrying equipment and machinery, including items they say other carriers will not touch, so an awkwardly shaped or heavy piece is a reasonable thing to ask about rather than assume is out of scope.
