Areas we cover
Pickups run by corridor: the city's industrial South and Southeast Sides, the O'Hare corridor, the North Shore, the west suburbs along I-88 and I-290, the I-55 and I-80 warehouse belt, and Lake County, Indiana. Each region has its own run, so a few reels in one town can share a truck with a yard's worth in the next.

How corridor runs work
Each region is served on its own days. Requests are grouped by region, then by town, so a truck leaving for the O'Hare corridor can stop in Wood Dale, Bensenville and Elk Grove Village in one trip. Big yards get their own truck; small lots fill the gaps. That is what makes a pickup of a dozen reels worth doing.
If a site has a deadline, such as a lease ending or a laydown that must be clear before a phase starts, say so. Deadlines get a dedicated trip when the run day will not do.
What counts as one place
Place pages cover a town, a neighbourhood or a ZIP area where reels collect: industrial parks, contractor yards, distributor branches and job sites. They say what kinds of reels turn up there, how the run reaches it, and what is useful to know before booking. Places not listed are still served if they lie on or near a run.
Outside the six regions
Further-out sites, such as solar fields in the rural counties or plants beyond Joliet and Aurora, can be served when a run goes nearby or the lot is big enough for its own truck. Send the location; the quote says plainly whether it works. Kankakee, Kendall, DeKalb and Porter counties come up most often.
Questions
Do you pick up reels in Northwest Indiana?
Yes. Hammond, Gary, Munster, Dyer and Merrillville are on the Northwest Indiana run, and so are the towns between them.
Is my town covered if it is not listed?
Probably, if it sits between or near the places listed. Send the ZIP with the request and the answer comes back with the quote.
Will you pick up fewer than a truckload of reels?
Yes. Small lots ride along on a corridor run with larger pickups in the same area.
Do you deliver reels to buyers in these areas?
Yes, by arrangement, or buyers can collect. Say which in the request.
