Why Illinois Has 65K+ Registered Carriers

Illinois sits at the center of North America's freight network. Chicago is the largest intermodal hub in the Western Hemisphere — every major rail line converges here, creating enormous drayage and short-haul carrier demand. The state's I-80 corridor is one of the highest-volume truck freight routes in the country, and Illinois's manufacturing base generates consistent flatbed and specialized freight demand year-round.

Freight brokers, insurance agents, factoring companies, ELD vendors, and fuel card providers all rely on this database to reach Illinois carriers directly.
