The Art & Importance of Expedited Delivery in Chicagoland

location-chicago

Reliable Logistical Solutions

Expedited shipping is so important in Chicago because of the city’s diverse, complex business environment. The metropolis is home to an array of manufacturers, engineering firms, food processing companies, and publishers, all of which have difficult supply needs. As an example, consider the challenges faced by Ford’s Far South Side plant and other local automotive facilities. Ford produces new vehicles on tight schedules, and thus needs its carriers to bring in supplies rapidly and consistently. Only carriers that know how to find quick, clear routes into and out of the Chicago area, all while avoiding damage to the supplies they’re transporting, are capable of meeting this demand.

Expedited Freight Team

Single Point of Contact (SPOC)

A Single Point of Contact (SPOC) facilitates streamlined communication for our clients, linking them directly with seasoned professionals experienced in managing analogous challenges. Upon placing an order, these experts will guide you through our air delivery options, offering bespoke recommendations to cater to your specific requirements. Throughout the process, the SPOC will furnish real-time updates on your order, including comprehensive information on your shipment's location, estimated flight duration, potential connecting flights, and additional pertinent details, ensuring you remain informed at every stage.

Nationwide Service

Rather than simply following the shortest route into or out of Chicago, we make a detailed plan that takes into account anything that can happen during the delivery. We steer our trucks around damaged or bumpy roads, areas of frequent congestion, and all other obstacles that could lead to delay or harm. This lets us get your goods to you as quickly as possible without running the risk of damaging them.
 
Besides planning, ExpeditedFreight.com invests in sophisticated tracking technology, which we use to monitor each truck from start to finish. If an obstacle arises in your path, we will know ahead of time, contact the truck, and steer it around to minimize delays. Likewise, if a truck breaks down, we will know its exact location, and can dispatch another vehicle to pick up your items and complete the order. Because we maintain vehicles and coverage throughout the US and Canada, we never have trouble getting a backup truck or van to your items in time.
We Have a Vast Carrier Fleet

Express Freight Carriers For Chicago Assembly

With more than 4,000 workers and direct access to 9 different automotive suppliers, Chicago Assembly is both one of the largest plants in the Midwest and the nation’s oldest automotive plant that is still in operation. The facility has long produced some of Ford’s most important vehicles, including the original Model T, the Model A, the Galaxie, the Torino, and the Marquis. The company currently uses it to make the Ford Taurus and the Ford Explorer. Located at 12600 S. Torrance Avenue in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, the plant is perfectly situated to meet demand all over the American Midwest.

Because so many of its suppliers have set up shop nearby, Chicago Assembly can get most of its inputs with ease. Nonetheless, the facility does suffer from some logistical issues, especially when it needs specialized parts for customized orders. Given its location in the heart of the Chicago metropolitan area, where more than 9 million people live and thousands more regularly travel through, bringing in such supplies is no easy task. Chicago Assembly must thus constantly struggle to maintain its high levels of flexibility and productivity.
