A Real Freight Partner in Chicago.
Chicago is the largest freight hub in North America. Six Class I railroads meet here, the interstate system converges here, and roughly a quarter of all US freight passes through the metro at some point. AFX Logistics dispatches flatbed, dry van, reefer, hotshot, conestoga, and oversized equipment in and out of Chicago every day. We work the inland intermodal ramps, the Joliet and Elwood facilities, and the industrial corridors across both Illinois and northern Indiana, and we put a real freight specialist on the phone, not a queue.
