How does IZY Logistics find carriers for my freight?

IZY Logistics maintains a vetted network of 500+ carriers. Every carrier is pre-screened for safety ratings, insurance, and on-time performance before being offered a load.

What types of freight does IZY Logistics handle for shippers?

IZY Logistics handles dry van, refrigerated (reefer), flatbed, and power only freight across all 48 contiguous U.S. states for both FTL and LTL shipments.

What is power only freight and when should I use it?

Power only freight means IZY provides a vetted CDL driver and tractor — you supply the trailer. It's ideal when you already have loaded trailers staged at a yard, need relay moves, or run drop-and-hook operations. Power only is faster and lower cost than standard FTL because the carrier only needs to provide the tractor.

Does IZY handle flatbed and oversize loads?

Yes. IZY coordinates standard flatbed, step deck, and RGN (lowboy) moves for construction materials, steel, machinery, and oversize freight. We handle permit coordination, pilot car arrangement, and proper load securement documentation.

How can I track my shipment?

Every IZY shipment comes with real-time GPS tracking. Your coordinator sends a personal tracking link via SMS or email when your load is dispatched. You can also enter your IZY load number at izylogistics.com/tracking to look up your shipment directly.

Chicago Freight Broker: Finding the Right Partner for Your Loads

Chicago is the largest inland freight hub in North America. Seven Class I railroads converge here. I-90, I-94, I-80, I-55, I-57, I-65 all pass through or near the metro. More freight moves through Chicago than any city outside of the coasts — which means more brokers, more competition, and more variation in quality. Here's how to find the right one.

Why Chicago Freight Is Different From Other Markets

Chicago freight has unique cost pressures: urban pickup/delivery surcharges add $100-300 per load, rail terminal congestion causes delays on intermodal freight, inner-city driver availability is tighter than suburbs, and the concentration of 900+ brokers in Chicago means carrier relationships matter more than anywhere else.

The Suburban Advantage: Why Location Within Chicago Matters

Shippers in the Chicago suburbs (Elgin, Aurora, Joliet, Waukegan, Naperville) often save 15-25% by avoiding inner-city Chicago charges. Brokers headquartered in the suburbs — like IZY Logistics in Mundelein — have carrier relationships built around suburban pickup/delivery, which reduces deadhead costs and improves carrier reliability.

What to Look for in a Chicago Freight Broker

Deep carrier relationships on your specific lanes. Fast quoting — Chicago is a competitive market, good capacity goes fast. 24/7 availability — Chicago shippers often need off-hours coverage. Knowledge of accessorials — Chicago has specific surcharges for hazmat, residential, and limited access that out-of-town brokers miss.

Top Chicago Freight Lanes and What They Cost
