STOP LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE WHEN SHIPPING CHICAGO FREIGHT

Whether you’re a freight forwarder or have your own freight to ship, the drayage process can get complicated and expensive without the right resources. Arranging schedules, dealing with hiccups, and finding the right carrier to get your goods where they need to be can all pile up.

Without the right contacts and experience, you risk missed deadlines and angry clients. By the time you’re in the middle of the situation, it can be a costly endeavor to get out.

It pays to have a partner that’s been there. With a Chicago freight broker, you have a team of experts who understand your timeframe, your cargo, and your turnaround needs so you spend as little time and money as possible on meeting tight deadlines.

SHIPPING IN AND THROUGH CHICAGO

Whether you’re based in Chicago or it’s just one of the many checkpoints along your cargo’s international journey, The Windy City presents a lot of opportunity. With access to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi and the North Atlantic via the St. Lawrence Seaway, there are many options.

With plenty of options come many more choices—and making the right or wrong choice can mean the difference between meeting your deadlines or paying exorbitant storage fees while your whole shipping stream backs up.

No matter what you need, a Chicago freight broker can help. At ITG Transportation Services, we have a variety of service options for every port and rail ramp throughout the US and Canada, and we pay especially close attention to Chicago due to its logistically strategic location.

EXPLORE MORE ABOUT CHICAGO DRAYAGE

Drayage is the first and last mile of any shipping venture. Whether you have a warehouse full of product or containers headed to a warehouse, someone has to take it to the port or railhead where it makes its main journey. This involves tight schedules, complex arrangements, and critical deadlines.

What’s more, hundreds of companies around the nation are all vying for the same limited pool of Chicago drayage capacity. Without careful attention to detail, you risk costs and delays as drivers wait in long lines and containers sit in ports running up storage fees.

Chicago’s Illinois International Port District takes in literal tons of volume every day and ships it out upriver to the North Atlantic or downriver through the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. That doesn’t even take into account the fact Chicago is North America’s largest rail hub. Approximately 25% of all freight trains and 50% of all intermodal trains in the United States pass through The Windy City.

When you ship into or out of Chicago, you need a freight broker specialized in drayage like ITG. We have the skill and carrier network to facilitate your cargo and timeline.
