The facility is located in Joliet, IL and operations are managed by a Chief Operations Control, director.
GKM WI vetted the candidate and required the company’s management team to attend lectures about GKM WI’s Schematic Design. This included studying “Integrated Equity Analytics” a formula copy protected by GKM, linear and non-linear modeling and IE strategic mapping that creates circuitous TEU flows to and from Wisconsin for processing. Proficiency was required before the company was selected, and in 2020, GKM WI Management named Midwest Carriers, Kaukauna, WI, as the new COC.
An asset-based carrier, Midwest Carriers add value by managing traffic flows to and from the International, TEU Process Center in Joliet, IL to destinations throughout Wisconsin. The majority of out-flows and in-flows to and from Wisconsin are serviced by Midwest Carriers’ Asset Division.
