Illinois is the freight crossroads of North America, with Chicago serving as the continent's largest rail interchange and home to major intermodal terminals. Its central location and O'Hare's standing as a top air-cargo airport make the state a natural base for national distribution along I-80, I-55, I-90, and I-94.

Logistics infrastructure in Illinois

  • Chicago, the largest rail interchange hub in North America, where major railroads connect east and west
  • Extensive intermodal terminals handling container and trailer volume for national distribution
  • O'Hare International Airport, a top U.S. air-cargo gateway for time-sensitive and international freight
  • Central location that supports one- and two-day truck reach to much of the country
  • Interstate network of I-80, I-55, I-90, and I-94 tying the metro to national long-haul lanes

Choosing a provider in Illinois

  • For cross-country moves, weigh a provider's access to Chicago intermodal terminals to shift long hauls from truck to rail.
  • If you ship air freight, consider proximity to O'Hare and the provider's experience with expedited and international cargo.
  • Use the state's central position when comparing providers, since a Chicago base can shorten transit times to both coasts.
  • Factor in Chicago-area congestion and rail terminal dwell when evaluating quoted transit times on I-80, I-90, and I-94.
