DSR Freight Systems · Serving Chicago, IL
Freight, Warehousing & Trucking Built for the Chicago Market
Our facility sits 59 miles east of downtown Chicago via I-94 — about 80 minutes from the Loop, and right at the doorstep of the Bedford Park, Cicero, and Joliet warehouse corridors. Close enough to serve the city on tight timelines, far enough to skip Chicago's real estate costs and dock congestion.
Why Chicago Shippers Work With Us
Chicago moves more rail freight than anywhere else in the country — over a quarter of all U.S. rail traffic passes through its rail yards and intermodal terminals, from BNSF's Corwith and Cicero facilities to Logistics Park Chicago further southwest. That volume is exactly why so much of the region's warehousing has pushed out to Bedford Park, Cicero, Romeoville, and Joliet along the I-55, I-90, and I-294 corridors — and why a facility just east of the city on I-94, outside Chicago's congestion and cost, is often the more practical base for freight actually moving in and out of the metro.
DSR Freight Systems runs cross docking, warehousing, and trucking out of Michigan City, IN, with a straight shot down I-94 into the city — through Gary, the halfway point on the drive, and into the South Side and Chicago's industrial south suburbs.
