WAREHOUSING & LOGISTICS SERVICES
IN CHICAGO, IL
Flexible On‑Demand Warehousing in Chicago
Finding available storage or cross‑docking space in Chicago shouldn’t require dozens of phone calls. Shipments get refused at receivers, schedules change and trucks burn fuel while idling. OLIMP solves this problem with a digital warehousing marketplace. Within minutes you can locate space in our network of thousands of partner warehouses across North America, including dozens throughout the Chicago metropolitan area.
Unlike traditional providers, we don’t impose minimum storage terms: you can store as little as one pallet for a single day. Start by submitting a Request for Quote; a Partner Success Manager will call you back—often the same business day—to match your freight with the right facility. With OLIMP you get on‑demand access to:
Cross‑docking: unload inbound freight and reload it to outbound carriers without long dwell times.
Pallet rework & sorting: fix damaged loads, re‑stack and re‑label pallets to meet receiver requirements.- Transloading & drayage: transfer cargo between containers/trailers and coordinate local drayage to and from rail yards or ports.
Long‑term and short‑term storage: secure inventory for days, weeks or months with flexible pricing.
Fulfillment & distribution: pick‑and‑pack, kitting and small parcel dispatch via partner facilities.
Disposal & re‑delivery: arrange for product disposal, recycling or redelivery when appointments are missed.
Yard storage & trailer parking: park empty trailers or store loaded containers in secured yards.
Our streamlined process saves time by eliminating the need to call multiple warehouses and negotiate prices. By getting trucks off the road quicker, OLIMP also helps reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
