Insights, Guides, and Tools for Smarter Truck Parking

Explore practical resources from Pirex Solutions covering secure truck parking, fleet operations, facility infrastructure, cargo protection, driver safety, and Midwest freight corridors.

The Network

Built on the Midwest's
Busiest Freight Routes

The Midwest freight corridor system moves more commercial tonnage than any other region in North America. I-80 alone handles over 20,000 commercial trucks per day across northern Illinois and Indiana. I-70 connects the entire mid-continent east to west.

We built our facility network by studying where drivers actually stop — not where it is convenient to put a lot. Every Pirex Solutions facility is positioned at a high-density stop point on a proven freight route, within practical driving distance of the corridor itself.

Six active states. Seven primary interstate corridors. Every facility privately owned, gated, and reserved exclusively for Pirex Solutions members.

    ILLINOIS · Primary Corridor

    Illinois is our founding state and deepest market. Chicago sits at the intersection of more Class 8 freight corridors than any other city in the Midwest. Facilities positioned on I-80, I-90, and I-94 give members coverage across the full northern Illinois freight zone.

    INDIANA · The Crossroads

    Indiana earns its Crossroads of America tagline with good reason. More interstate highways converge here than nearly any other state. Drivers pass through Indiana — often multiple times per week. We cover the full east-west and north-south grid.

    OHIO · The Eastern Gateway

    Ohio is where Midwest freight transitions to the East Coast corridor system. Drivers running I-70 toward the Mid-Atlantic, I-76 toward Pennsylvania, or I-75 toward the South all converge across this state. Ohio coverage bridges the Midwest and Eastern networks.

    MICHIGAN · The Industrial North

    Michigan's auto industry and Great Lakes port activity generate some of the highest commercial vehicle density in the Midwest. Detroit, Dearborn, and the I-94 corridor see consistent heavy freight movement year-round. Coverage spans the lower peninsula's primary freight zones.

    MISSOURI · The Central Freight Gateway

    Missouri sits at the crossroads of major Midwest freight movement, connecting Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, and key markets across the central United States. With I-70 and I-44 carrying significant east-west truck traffic and I-55 and I-49 extending critical north-south connections.

    WISCONSIN · The Northern Run

    Wisconsin connects the Chicago metro to the Upper Midwest freight system. Drivers running the I-90/I-94 split through Madison and Milwaukee handle some of the highest volume freight density in the northern corridor. Green Bay and the Lake Michigan coastline add an industrial layer above the metro zone.
