Optimize Your Supply Chain with Efficient Intermodal Drayage Services in Chicago

Chicago is a major transportation hub connecting the East and West coasts and serves as an essential gateway to international trade. Within this complex network, drayage plays a vital role in optimizing a business’ supply chain and is the crucial link between ports, rail yards, and distribution centers in the Chicago region. Partners Warehouse, a top intermodal drayage carrier in Chicago, specializes in optimizing supply chains for businesses, with local and regional transport. Our deep expertise in logistics and particularly in the complexities of drayage, helps us create custom solutions for our client’s unique needs. 

What is Drayage and Why Does it Matter in Chicago?

Efficient drayage is crucial for smooth intermodal transport in Chicago’s logistical hub where freight from the West Coast and the East Coast converge. This often involves the short-haul transport of containers between the Port of Chicago and surrounding rail yards and intermodal terminals. Partners Warehouse is strategically located in the Inland Port of Joliet, Illinois with direct rail side access to the BNSF logistics rail line. Our Elwood rail served facility is also in close proximity to the CN, and UP intermodal container yards with a triple rail access for up to twenty-two rail cars per day along with a daily switch from the BNSF. Because Chicago acts as a central transloading point, effective intermodal drayage prevents bottlenecks and delays at these key transfer points, ensuring timely delivery, reduced costs and increased customer satisfaction.
