Manufacturers & End Users
Take advantage of barge and rail quantity shipments and maximize your production efficiencies by letting BL Duke River Terminal be an extension of your business. We are accessible by barge on the Des Plaines River, class I rail, and are located near major highway networks. We have 30 acres of outdoor storage and 250K square feet of indoor, climate-controlled storage available.
Logistical Efficiencies
Transportation costs are one of the biggest impacts to a company’s bottom line. Our multimodal terminal in Joliet, Illinois allows our clients to benefit from barge and rail quantity shipments. These modes of transportation are cost-effective, safe, and more environmentally friendly. In fact, one barge is roughly equivalent to 17 railcars or 70 truckloads.
