The state of Illinois may not be the most popular of auto transport locations at a glance – what with its rural makeup outside of Chicago and a few other smaller metro areas, Illinois just doesn’t scream “populated” the way that a state like California does. But the fact of the matter is that Illinois is home to Chicago, one of the top five largest cities in the United States, and it is this one city that makes the state of Illinois so popular. The Chicago metro area is home to over 9.5 million residents and also has several major interstates running through it, including I-94, I-90, I-80, I-65, and I-55.
Of those, perhaps I-80 and I-90 are the two most heavily-traveled east-west interstates through the northern parts of the country. This makes it easy for carriers to transport vehicles to and from Chicago, and because of its size many carrier companies are actually headquartered in some of the outlying bedroom cities surrounding it. This makes it even better because they can run routes out and back again without having to charge an arm and a leg. Outside of Chicago, cities like Springfield, Champaign and Rockford all connect to Chicago via interstates, which makes it even easier for carriers to run through many parts of the state and, indeed, the country, as they are quickly able to transport vehicles from one location to another and keep their trucks piled high with loads.
