GPS Fleet Tracking for America's Transportation Hub
Chicago is the third-largest intermodal hub in the world, behind only Hong Kong and Singapore. 25% of all US freight trains and 50% of intermodal trains pass through the metro area, with 500 freight trains operating daily. The region processes $1.3 trillion in annual freight value (Source: CMAP Regional Freight Study). Six Class I railroads converge here, making Chicago essential for coast-to-coast logistics. Managing fleets across this complex network, harsh winters (-20F), and Lake Effect storms requires robust GPS tracking. Traxelio helps Chicago businesses optimize their intermodal and distribution operations.

500 freight trains pass through Chicago daily, requiring precise truck-rail coordination at terminals like BNSF Logistics Park, UP Global III, and Norfolk Southern. Missed windows mean missed trains, demurrage fees, and shipment delays. Source: CMAP Regional Freight Study.
Chicago winters bring severe cold reaching -20F, heavy snowfall, and Lake Effect storms that can dump 12+ inches overnight. Fleet managers need real-time visibility to manage delays and ensure driver safety.
The Illinois Tollway system (I-90, I-88, I-294) requires I-PASS for efficient operations. Toll costs add significantly to operating expenses, requiring careful route optimization to balance time and cost.
