One of the many value-added services Commtrex provides is how to best optimize your freight shipping route. A common question we receive is: How much does it cost to ship by rail between Chicago and Wilmington? To calculate freight shipping rates, we need to know the mode of transportation (rail, barge, etc.), the type of cargo (containerized, dry/liquid bulk, etc.), the weight and volume, distance the cargo is traveling (in this case 749 miles or 1,205 km between Wilmington and Chicago), and a variety of other data points. Once we have received this information, Commtrex will work closely with various logistics service providers to expedite the procurement of freight shipping costs.
