Do you have cargo that does not need to be enclosed, that is oversized (cannot fit within the dimensions of standard trucks), or that requires to be loaded and offloaded using cranes or forklifts? At Amplify Logistics, we do flatbed shipping. We have carriers with flatbed trucks, which are basically open trailers that have no roofs or sides. Our flatbed shipping service also includes high-end equipment such as double drips and step decks to offer businesses large and small the scalability and flexibility they need to grow.

Among our clients are large commercial entities. We have a track record in the delivery of everything from transformers to towers and from boilers to steel structures. We also transport construction equipment to and from construction sites all over North America. Some flatbeds require special permits, while others require police escorts – we will help you get all this as you prepare the necessary paperwork.

Although North American countries (Canada, the U.S., and Mexico) have favorable trade ties, thanks to the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which eliminates all quotas and tariffs, cross-border shipping is still complicated. You need the right carrier to hasten custom clearance and avoid other forms of border delays. At Amplify Logistics, we endeavor to make cross-border shipping seamless.

We offer a variety of services, including dual temperature, Full Truckload (FTL), and Less-than-Truckload (LTL) shipping. When you come to Amplify Logistics, we will try to understand your supply chain and logistics needs and then come up with a customized solution.

It is difficult to overstate the importance of good warehousing. It allows for timely delivery, optimizes distribution, reduces damage and errors, reduces the risk of theft and loss, and improves labor productivity, ultimately improving customer satisfaction. At Amplify Logistics, we offer world-class warehouse management solutions to our Chicago clients. Our warehouses are well-equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for all storage needs. They are safe, secure, clean, readily available, and accessible.

Avoid the common temptation of storing cargo in-house as this brings administrative problems; it is expensive since you have to invest in the equipment needed, you will not get the most convenient location, and you will not have flexibility. We do not take a chance with your cargo. Once you drop it off at the warehouse, you are sure to get it in the same condition.

Some cargo requires temperature control shipping to avoid damage. These include pharmaceuticals, dairy, meats, seafood, fruits, and vegetables, among others. At Amplify logistics, we’ve got you covered in the form of dual-temp and single-temp shipping trailers. Our trailers have constant temperatures – we understand that temperature fluctuations can cause perishable goods to go bad.

We offer a variety of solutions for temperature-sensitive cargo, keeping in mind that different customers have different needs. With more than 500 refrigerated trailers, you are guaranteed to get what you need all year round, irrespective of the volumes you want to transport. The trucks in our network are well-equipped and have sufficient safety and security features incorporated. No matter where you are transporting your temperature-sensitive cargo across North America, the Amplify Logistics team will ensure it reaches its destination intact.

As a full-service third-party logistics (3PL) company, we offer transport, warehousing, and integrated operations services to ensure that all our clients’ logistics needs are covered. We also offer tailor-made solutions to our clients since we understand different customers have different needs. We have a strong presence in Chicago as well as the rest of North America (Mexico, the U.S., and Canada). Thanks to our experience, vast network, and adoption of technology, we are able to offer cost-effective solutions.

Road remains the most popular way of transporting cargo in Chicago. It is the cheapest transport method available since it does not require specific infrastructures like airports, stations, and ports. It is the most agile - delivery is to the customer premises without the need for any other transport method. It is fast, there is maximum traceability, and there are no prohibitions on the transport of dangerous cargo, as is the case with airplanes.

At Amplify Logistics, our vast road freight carrier network allows for fast turnaround time and great flexibility. Our carriers are carefully vetted and are all licensed and insured. Our road freight services include temperature-sensitive cargo shipment, FTL shipment, and LTL shipment across the 3 North American countries. We also offer customized solutions to our customers. Call us today for all your road freight transport requirements.

LTL (less-than-truckload) freight shipping is the most popular shipping method for small businesses that deal with small volumes. You can transport dry goods like clothing, textiles, paper and plastics, manufacturing supplies, and even temperature-sensitive and hazardous goods. You will not pay for unused cargo space, allowing you to save money. LTL shipping allows you to send more shipments, which means reduced warehouse costs since there is no need to stockpile products.

LTL shipping gives you access to our professional expertise, which most small businesses do not have. We will assist you to insure your cargo, and in the unlikely event of damage, we will assist you to file an insurance claim. LTL shipping also reduces your environmental impact since you will be sharing space with other shipments, it gives you a quick turnaround time, your shipment will be more secure, and you will be able to track your cargo.

Air freight shipping is the fastest delivery method, making it ideal for cargo that requires immediate delivery. It is a highly reliable method since airlines usually have strict departure and arrival times. Moreover, you can safely send your cargo to the rest of the world, insurance premiums are usually lower due to the reduced transportation time, there is little risk of theft and damage, and it requires less packaging compared to ocean shipment. You will also be able to follow the status of the cargo online.

At Amplify Logistics, we offer air freight shipping services through our network of international and local freighter & charter operators. Our carriers will deliver your cargo where road, rail, and ships will not reach. We deliver to all major routes around the world. We have put systems in place to ensure the entire process, from booking up to delivery, is seamless. Once the cargo arrives at the airport, we will then deliver it to where it needs to be through our other shipping methods like FTL shipment and LTL shipment.

You can improve your supply chain with our rail freight shipment service. Rail transport has several advantages. Statistics show a very low rate of theft of containers that are shipped by rail, mostly because of the difficulty in accessing trains. Rail transport offers multimodal compatibility - the containers are compatible with road transport, which is not the case with air transport. Rail transport is economical, especially for long distances, and is not subject to oil price fluctuations and fuel surcharges. This makes this the best option for cargo that is not time sensitive. It is also punctual and environmentally sustainable.

Our network of carriers is able to handle both large and small volumes of cargo to and from Chicago. We serve the three North American countries, which are well-connected by a robust rail infrastructure. We offer customized solutions and several value-added services that ensure all your needs are met. We do everything from getting your cargo insured to door-to-door delivery.

Ocean freight is a good option for cargo that is not time-sensitive. Ocean shipping offers the most competitive freight costs over long distances. Ships can handle large volumes and cargo that is impractical to ship via air, such as heavy, bulky, or oversized cargo like raw materials, large vehicles, construction materials, and equipment. Ships are also able to carry dangerous cargo and hazardous materials that are not allowed in air transport. With an improvement in maritime safety over the past few decades, cargo loss during shipping has dropped significantly. Containers are also sealed and locked, offering extra security. Containers used in ocean freight can be loaded directly onto a truck or a train, offering multimodal compatibility.

At Amplify logistics, we ensure that your cargo is delivered to the intended destination intact. We have partnered with experienced carriers who abide by strict deadlines. We monitor and track the cargo throughout the shipment.
