Commercial Truck Insurance in Chicago, IL

Chicago is the rail and intermodal capital of North America. Six of the seven Class I railroads meet here, more than anywhere else on the continent, and the region's intermodal terminals transfer an immense volume of containers between rail and truck every day. Wrapped around I-90, I-94, I-55, and I-80, Chicago is the single most important inland freight hub in the country.

Intermodal drayage drivers shuttling containers between the rail ramps and warehouses, dry-van fleets running Midwest distribution, and owner-operators crossing the I-80/I-294 corridors all operate in a dense, high-volume, weather-exposed market. NITIC insures Chicago-area truckers with drayage, cargo, and physical damage coverage built around intermodal and distribution work โ€” including protection against the region's harsh winter conditions.
