Indicative pricing at the Chicagoland intermodal depots: 40HC Brand New 2,550-2,950 USD ex-depot before delivery.

Six Class I railroads converge in the Chicago metro, making it the largest inland intermodal hub in North America with rail connectivity to every major US seaport. Availability is therefore a function of ramp velocity rather than vessel calls, which smooths supply: Chicago does not experience the vessel-driven scarcity cycles that affect coastal markets, and both storage-grade used stock and One-Trip units for modification are held locally.

The metro's container activity centres on the intermodal yards at Joliet, Cicero, Bedford Park and Logistics Park Chicago, all within reach of I-80, I-90 and I-94. Which yard is relevant depends on the unit and the grade you need. Share your target size, grade and delivery postcode and we will confirm which yard holds matching stock and what the delivered price is.

Cargo Worthy and One-Trip stock both rotate through the Chicago market, alongside deep used inventory. Cargo Worthy suits export and occasional sea use, used and refurbished units serve the region's storage and distribution demand, and One-Trip stock is favoured by the local modification shops. Demand is balanced between 20DC and 40HC rather than skewed toward one size, which is unusual for an inland market.

I-80, I-90 and I-94 give Chicago national truck reach, with Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and Iowa comfortably inside a one-day haul. Delivery within the metro is typically 2-5 business days from order confirmation. Winter weather between December and March can add delay on longer hauls, so build contingency into project timelines scheduled for that window.
