The auction market here is active. ADESA Sacramento operates out of the eastern part of the metro. IAA Sacramento handles insurance volume consistently. Manheim has had operations in Sacramento as well. The state government employment base and steady suburban growth in the region keep the dealer market solid.

Chicago is the crossroads of American auto transport. Four major interstates converge here. I-90 and I-94 run east to west. I-55 drops south toward St. Louis. I-80 is one of the most heavily used carrier corridors in the country running straight across the middle of the US. Manheim Chicago is one of the largest and most active auto auctions in the Midwest. The dealer market across the metro and suburbs is deep. Carriers are always moving through Chicago because there is always another load waiting for them.
Chicago is a strong delivery market. Carriers on I-80 from the coasts, I-55 from Dallas and the south, and I-90 from the northeast are all natural fits for dropping cars off here. Deliver to the suburbs and it is simple. Deliver to downtown Chicago proper and it is manageable but expect the carrier to request a meetup point rather than pulling a full hauler through the Loop.
