Our Mission - AMS Earth Movers, Inc, a WBE/DBE/WOSB and Green certified company, has an increasingly stronger presence as a construction hauling company servicing primarily the Greater Chicago Area, and has a reputation as an industry leader for customer service, broker friendly, safe, reliable/on time cartage, fast and accurate invoicing. Priority areas for expansion are providing products that facilitate green building, becoming certified woman owned aggregate/road salt supplier in Illinois, and meeting the product and service needs of a local, national and international clientele.
These principles define how AMS does business:
Best Logistics and Communication
AMS uses state of the art technology to move deliveries quickly and efficiently, by keeping up with traffic, weather, road closures and other elements that may affect travel times. We are available by phone, radio, email and fax to respond to customer needs, communicate with drivers, and keep customers apprised of truck progress and arrival estimates.
Clear Pricing and Invoicing
We offer fast turnaround on bids, ranging from 15 minutes for smaller job estimates to 24 hours for larger, more complicated project proposals. Pricing and terms are spelled out clearly, and if changes occur on the job that affect pricing, the information is immediately communicated to the customer.
Charges may be made by the hour, the ton, or the load, and each invoice includes a clear scope of services. Our invoicing is concise, accurate, easy to understand, and backed up by signed (driver, dump, aggregate) tickets.
A Feeling of Family
The AMS team is a close-knit staff of experienced industry professionals; each has 20+ years of expertise in the position as well as knowledge in many other aspects of the construction business. We know each customer, vendor and independent operator personally, and place a high value on long-term working relationships.
At AMS, there are no problems – just challenges. We partner with each customer to satisfy every hauling, logistic and material need. We listen to each challenge, and then together with customer, vendor and drivers, we find the best solution without compromising time, service or quality.
Despite the uncertainty of today’s business environment, you can count on there being “No Surprises” when you deal with AMS Earth Movers.
“AMS Earthmovers has provided bulk and flatbed hauling services at competitive prices. They are responsive to requests and let you know what's going on with loads; very much a "no surprises" approach to business. They have also referred me to potential customers and looked for ways to partner with me on new business. This is very unique for a trucking company.”

Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modifications. Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. Biodiesel is better for the environment because it is made from renewable resources and has lower emissions compared to petroleum diesel. It is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as fast as sugar. Since it is made in the USA from renewable resources such as soybeans, its use decreases our dependence on foreign oil and contributes to our own economy.
