Pallet Services and Industry in Chicago, Illinois

Chicago is North America's freight capital — more rail tonnage passes through the Chicago region than any other metro on the continent. The intersection of six Class I railroads, combined with O'Hare International Airport's massive air cargo operations and the I-90/I-94/I-80/I-55 highway network, makes Chicago the single most important logistics node in the United States. The metro area's warehouse footprint stretches from the South Side and south suburbs along I-55 into the massive Joliet-Elwood intermodal complex. Major pallet consumers include food processors on the Southwest Side, pharmaceutical distributors, automotive parts operations, and the region's vast e-commerce fulfillment infrastructure. Illinois's central location means pallets distributed from Chicago reach 70% of the U.S. population within two days.
