The Chicago Market
O'Hare and Midway airports create massive freight demand. I-90, I-94, I-55, and I-80 all converge here making Chicago the rail and truck freight capital of North America. The Chicagoland area has over 150,000 trucking-related jobs.
Chicago's intermodal yards (BNSF Logistics Park, UP Global III) handle millions of containers annually, creating constant demand for drayage trucks and trailers.
