Chicago is the only US metro where all six Class I railroads converge, making it one of the most important inland freight nodes in North America. CenterPoint Joliet is among the largest intermodal facilities on the continent. The I-80 / I-90 / I-94 trifecta routes freight east-west across the country, and the Calumet River system gives Chicago Great Lakes barge access.

BOC-3 in the Chicago compliance context
Chicago-based carriers running Illinois Tollway and northwest Indiana lanes rely on active operating authority - and FMCSA will not activate authority without a BOC-3 process agent on file (49 CFR 366.4T). Without it, SAFER shows the carrier as NOT AUTHORIZED, which blocks load-board and brokered work. Our lifetime $75 filing avoids the recurring annual-renewal cost that many competitors charge.
