History

The roots of Air-Land Transport began 60 years ago with Speedy Delivery Service. In the 1940's, Speedy Delivery Service began by delivering to the grocery, printing and retail industries. At its inception, Speedy Delivery Service consisted of three employees, a cargo van, a two-ton truck, and a desire to exceed customer expectations.

As a result of our customer satisfaction promise, Speedy Delivery Service contracted with a furniture and appliance company, delivering packages, appliances, and furniture. Speedy continued to expand, receiving and delivering important shipments between the Greater Peoria Airport and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport for a large manufacturing company.

In order to meet our customers' growing transportation needs, focus was shifted towards the truckload industry. In 1980, Air-Land Transport was born, embracing to this day the principle upon which Speedy Delivery Service was built - total customer satisfaction.
