About Shipping in Chicago
Chicago, Illinois is the third-largest city in the United States and the primary transportation hub of the Midwest. Multiple interstate highways and rail lines converge here, making it the nation's busiest vehicle transport crossroads. The city connects eastern and western markets and serves as the anchor of the Great Lakes shipping region.
More interstate highways converge in Chicago than any other US city, providing unmatched carrier routing options. Urban congestion, especially on the Dan Ryan (I-90/94) and Eisenhower (I-290) expressways, can delay local pickups and deliveries. Winter conditions including heavy snow and lake-effect weather require seasonal planning.
