Dry Van Capacity In
Chicago, IL
Chicago is the largest inland freight hub in North America and the only place where all six Class I railroads interchange. That makes it a market where a truck can sit for days waiting on a rail ramp, and where knowing which yard to avoid at which hour is worth more than raw capacity.
Everything moves through Chicago, which is exactly the problem — congestion is the defining cost. The CenterPoint intermodal park in Elwood and Joliet is effectively its own freight city, and a large share of national dry van volume touches it.
The workhorse of domestic freight. Fully enclosed 53-foot trailers for palletized and floor-loaded general commodities, moving dock to dock without the temperature or securement complications of specialised equipment.

Chicago industries we serve
Dry Van Handled
Properly
Load Securement
Load bars, straps and proper blocking on every floor-loaded shipment. Freight that shifts in transit is freight that arrives damaged.
Appointment Discipline
Receivers that run tight dock windows get a driver who arrives inside them, and a call from dispatch before the window is at risk — not after.
No Re-Brokering
The truck you were quoted is the truck that shows up. Your freight is not posted back to a board at a lower rate.
One Point Of Contact
A dispatcher who knows your account and can answer where the load is without opening a ticket.

We Know The Chicago Corridors
I-80, I-55, I-90, I-94. That makes it a market where a truck can sit for days waiting on a rail ramp, and where knowing which yard to avoid at which hour is worth more than raw capacity..
Freight Chicago Actually Ships

Honest Capacity Answers
Winter weather closes I-80 and I-90 with little warning. Build transit expectations around December through February rather than around a summer average.
Dry Van Built For This Market
Length 53 ft, Max payload 45,000 lb, Doors swing or roll. If your freight sits outside those numbers we will route it to the right equipment rather than force it into the wrong trailer.
No Re-Brokering
The truck quoted for your Chicago, IL load is the truck that arrives. When volume exceeds our own fleet we say so and place it with a vetted partner — we do not quietly re-post your freight at a lower rate.
One Dispatcher, Not A Queue
You get a person who knows your account and the Chicago market, and who can tell you where the truck is without opening a ticket. That is the whole difference on a load that goes sideways.
