In today’s highly competitive marketplace, shippers often rely on transloading — the process of transferring materials between truck, sea, and rail transportation —in order to move products and materials as efficiently as possible.
The Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad provides safe and efficient transloading for customers at several locations, including the Port of Chicago. Our extensive experience in transloading includes bulk materials, as well as miscellaneous finished goods.
South Shore Freight’s transloading practices, as all our other services, strictly adhere to all safety and compliance regulations, good housekeeping practices, and set the standard for environmentally friendly practices. Our comprehensive techniques and tools allow us to transfer materials from one delivery mode to another economically, safely and securely.
