Chicago Car Shipping

Chicago Car Shipping Planned Around the City, Not the Interstates

Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Chicago, a freight crossroads for the whole country, where the Kennedy, the Dan Ryan, the Eisenhower, the Stevenson, and the Skyway carry long-haul trucks through the city, the rail yards trade containers between the coasts, seventy-seven community areas each keep their own parking rules, the lakefront runs twenty-six miles, and the alleys, viaducts, and permit blocks decide where a truck can actually stop. Whichever lot or driveway we choose, the car goes only to a licensed, insured carrier that has passed our vetting before the assignment.

Getting a full carrier to a Chicago curb is the hard part, so the plan starts there. Trucks are barred from Lake Shore Drive. Lower Wacker and the older rail viaducts are too low for a loaded rig, permit-parking blocks and alley-fed streets leave no place to stop, and in winter a snow route clears its parked cars once two inches fall. In the bungalow belt a driveway or a wide street usually works; for the Loop, the North Side and the lakefront we fix a lot off the Kennedy near O’Hare, off the Stevenson near Midway, or on a broad South Side boulevard when you book. We arrange moves for new jobs, for students, and for families sending a car to relatives in other states.
