Virginia Beach to Chicago Freight Shipping
Chicago Freight Shipping

The great city of Chicago is located near the Southern most area of Lake Michigan. This is one of the many factors contributing to Chicago being the sixth-largest export market in all of the United States, so much so that 1 in every five jobs in Chicago depends on imports or exports.

As we would expect for a city such as Chicago, the greatest part of its freight transportation is water born. Besides Chicago having a major freight rail and two major airports, where massive amounts of cargo enter and exit, its port still takes the lead. Illinois International Port is the port that moves the most cargo in all of the Great Lakes by, moving over 19 million tons of cargo per year. This massive movement of goods and products emerging from all ports in Chicago would put Chicago among the top 36 ports in all of the United States. The cargo that embarks from these ports travels worldwide, having an ever-present role in the global economy.

The Port of Oakland also plays an integral role in providing jobs to residents through its various freight activities.
