Our Story

Our Mission Statement:
To provide reliable expedited freight service to businesses without increasing transportation costs.

We are a third and fourth generation family owned business located in the Peoria, IL area. In today's demanding times many small to large businesses need fast, reliable delivery services. Because of this demand we have seen our company grow over the past forty years from the tiniest of delivery service's that had 3 employees and 5 vehicles to a company employing over 15 individuals and improving our trucking fleet to a modest 22. Even though these numbers may not be significant to some, we like to remain a small business so we can provide that personal touch to our customers.

At Kemper Express, the personal relationships we have built over the years with our employees and our customers have made us the company we are today. We believe the reason we have been able to survive so long in this industry is the willingness to go that "extra mile" for people. Our future depends on our ability to exceed the expectations of you and your customers. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
