Truck Dispatch in Illinois
Dispatch built for Illinois lanes
Illinois is the shortest way between the coasts, which is why so much of a Midwest week touches it. Chicago's auctions and rail ramps sit within an hour of the collar counties, and a truck that reloads there is usually heading somewhere that pays for the rest of the week.
The city is also the slowest part of it. Tolls, truck routes and a delivery window in the middle of the afternoon cost more hours than the miles do, so a Chicago load is planned around the clock rather than around the map.
Winter is the honest part. From December the I-80 and I-90 corridors close with little warning, and we build the week with somewhere to stop rather than a schedule that assumes they stay open.

What Illinois requires
Tolls, and the transponder that pays them
The Illinois Tollway bills commercial vehicles by axle, and running without a transponder costs more than the toll does. The account is set up before the first Chicago load, not after the invoice.
Seasonal weight limits as the ground thaws
County and township roads in Illinois carry posted weight limits through the spring thaw. The sign on the road, not the route planner, decides the last mile.
The city keeps trucks on its own routes
Chicago holds trucks to designated routes, and a residential delivery address is not automatically on one. We confirm the approach before the appointment is accepted.
