Illinois is a rail state with river ports alongside. Ports run at Chicago, Joliet, Havana, Granville and Cahokia Heights, and intermodal ramps work at Chicago, Bedford Park, Cicero, Dolton, Blue Island and Decatur.
A Freightliner sleeper off a Joliet ramp, a Peterbilt day cab out of Chicago, a Mack dump truck near Decatur or a GMC dually out of Springfield go through the same steps: photos and the details come to us, we send an offer, and if you're happy we can come to you, buy it remotely, or you can drive it to us.
Illinois’s trucking industry is one of the nation’s top trucking states, with Chicago serving as the country’s largest inland freight hub.

In Illinois, an insurance company that pays damages on a total loss claim is deemed the owner of the vehicle, and the vehicle is considered salvage (625 ILCS 5/3-117.1(b)(1)). In Illinois the threshold for a self-insured company is 70% of the fair market value the vehicle would have without the damage, measured by the cost of repair including labour (625 ILCS 5/3-117.1(b)(1.1)). In Illinois, the registered owner may ask to retain a vehicle nine model years of age or older, and whether they keep it is a matter of agreement with the insurer rather than something the statute settles for them (625 ILCS 5/3-117.1(b)(1)).
