Granite City, IL Steel & Coil Transportation

Commodities We Transport in Granite City, IL

Across the river from St. Louis, Granite City is one of the Midwest's steel towns. We run coil both ways between Granite City and Chicagoland, so our trucks are loaded in both directions.

Loaded both ways

Granite City is a true two-way market for us. Coil leaves Granite City and Madison for Chicago’s south suburbs and northwest Indiana, and coil from northwest Indiana, Chicagoland and Ohio comes back down to Granite City processors.

That balance is what makes the lane work. With freight moving in both directions between Chicagoland and the Metro East, our trucks stay on the lane instead of passing through it, and shippers at either end get steady capacity.

Primary corridors

  • I-55North to Chicagoland
  • I-270Around the Metro East
