Services
Carrier and 3PL in one: storage in our warehouse or with warehouse partners, then FNS trucks or partner carriers.
We coordinate the inbound delivery, the storage and the outbound shipment, so you aren't juggling separate providers.
That matters in the Chicago market, where a container may come off a ramp in Elwood, Joliet, Bedford Park or the city and need a floor, a transload, or a same-day cross-dock onto a trailer headed somewhere else. Our office is in Mokena, on the southwest side of the metro area, with I-80 close by and the Elwood and Joliet ramps a short drive down I-55. We serve ports and rail ramps nationwide. We also offer transloading, with contracted warehouse rates at warehouses nationwide.

Transloading & cross-dock
Moves your freight from one container or trailer to another, often between rail, ocean containers and over-the-road trucks. In Chicago this is how a 40-foot international container becomes a 53-foot domestic trailer for the rest of the lane.
Moves inbound freight straight to outbound trucks with little or no time in storage. Useful when a rail container hits the ramp and the outbound appointment is already on the calendar.
Holds freight between the inbound arrival and the outbound pickup. Ask your account representative about timing and what the freight needs (stacking, appointments, or a temperature-controlled room). We do not publish facility measurements here.
How a warehouse stop fits a Chicago rail move
We pick the container up at a public Chicago-area ramp and bring it to the warehouse. See the Rail ramps section on our Drayage / transload page for the ramps in this market.
Freight comes off the container, is counted, and is either staged for a quick outbound or put away for a short stay.
FNS trucks or partner carriers take the outbound load: local delivery in the metro area, a Midwest lane, or a longer haul.
