Illinois Coverage, Corridors and Major Markets
We cover freight in and out of the Chicago metro area and downstate markets. Primary corridors include I-55, I-80, I-90/I-94 and I-57. Dry van volume is heavy on manufacturing and retail distribution freight. Reefer capacity supports food and beverage movements.
Chicago is one of the busiest freight markets in the country, so capacity shifts quickly, and winter weather can slow pickups and deliveries.
Example lanes we can quote include Chicago to Atlanta, Joliet to Dallas and Peoria to Harrisburg, along with in-state moves between Chicago, Joliet, Peoria and Rockford. These are examples, not fixed schedules: send any origin and destination in the lower 48.
- Markets: Chicago, Joliet, Peoria and Rockford
- Interstates: I-55, I-57, I-80, I-90, I-94 and I-70
- Gateway: Chicago rail and intermodal yards
- Common freight: intermodal, grocery and manufactured freight
