Sell Your IllinoisTrucking Company

Illinois sits at the center of North American freight, yet that same geography makes operating a small trucking company here one of the most expensive propositions in the country. The convergence of I-80, I-90, and I-94 around Chicago creates congestion that inflates dwell times, burns fuel, and drives insurance premiums to among the highest in the United States. Add in the Illinois Tollway system's per-mile overhead, a state fuel tax that consistently ranks among the nation's steepest, and a state income tax that applies regardless of entity structure, and the margin picture for independent carriers has become increasingly difficult to defend.

The post-COVID wave of Amazon Relay and fulfillment-network carriers who set up operations around Joliet, Elwood, and Will County is now unwinding. Carriers who launched to service those lanes are discovering that load volume has normalized while fixed costs have not. At the same time, Chicago's intermodal complex — the largest rail-to-truck interchange in North America, anchored by the BNSF Logistics Park, Union Pacific's Global IV yard, and CSX — continues to shift freight away from smaller drayage operators toward large asset-based fleets.
