U.S. Messenger & Logistics, Inc. was founded by Frank Gonzales and Norm Nied during April 1999. Frank and Norm were two former senior managers of the original U.S. Messenger & Delivery Service, Inc. which was started during 1966 by Mr. Donald Fried. In the years since, they strove to build a strong company that would "Deliver... What Others Promised." Norm passed away during early 2021, but that early desire is still strong and the team is working to "Deliver the Service... You Deserve."

Our Managers and Supervisors are among the most experienced in the industry. Together, they have several hundred years of leadership skills in the business, working for the biggest companies in the upper Midwest.

Many of our drivers have worked for us for over 20 years. Over 60% of our couriers have more than 10 years of experience.

Vision

Our vision is to be Chicagoland's leading provider of customer service, on-time performance and reasonably priced delivery and logistics services. We will deliver with integrity, accountability and consistency for our customers.

Mission

In order to achieve our vision, our mission must be to follow the philosophy that our customers are the company's lifeblood, and as such, our most important priority. We must consistently meet and exceed their expectations. We will accomplish this by empowering our employees and treating everyone with respect and fair treatment.
