About Shipping in Milwaukee
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a Great Lakes port city located on the western shore of Lake Michigan, roughly 90 miles north of Chicago. The city serves as a secondary hub to Chicago for vehicle transport in the upper Midwest. Its port facilities and manufacturing heritage support a steady vehicle logistics market.
I-94 provides the primary corridor to both Chicago and Minneapolis. Proximity to Chicago means many carriers serve both cities on the same route. Lake-effect snow and cold winters from November through March can affect local delivery schedules.
