Helping Chicagoland Forwarders and 3PLs Stay Staffed

Chicago sits at the centre of North America’s rail and trucking network. O’Hare International Airport is one of the busiest cargo hubs in the world. This makes the metro area a magnet for freight forwarding, customs brokerage and warehousing — but also a battleground for talent.

We connect freight forwarders, customs brokers, warehouse managers, freight sales executives and logistics planners with the companies that need them across Illinois and the wider Midwest. Whether you’re hiring or job hunting, we know the Chicago market.
