Load Rework & Restack across the Chicago metro
Chicago is the busiest intermodal hub in North America and WarehouseNow’s home market. Our headquarters sits in the city, and our partner coverage is deepest along the I-55 and I-80 corridors through Joliet, Bolingbrook and Romeoville, around O’Hare in Elk Grove Village, and near the rail ramps in Bedford Park and northwest Indiana.
A load rework is the process of unloading freight that has shifted, leaned, crushed or been rejected, then restacking, re-wrapping and re-labeling it so it can be delivered and accepted. It is the most common reason a carrier or broker calls us, and the one where speed matters most, because every hour the trailer sits is an hour closer to a missed appointment, a detention bill or a full rejection.

How it works
Tell us what shifted
Send the trailer location, pallet count, commodity, and photos if you have them. One call or one form, no account required.
We match the facility
Within 15 minutes we confirm a vetted rework partner near the driver with the right equipment, whether that is a forklift and shrink wrap or a clamp truck and new pallets.
Driver pulls in, load goes out
The facility restacks, re-wraps, re-labels and photographs the finished pallets. Most reworks are complete the same day and the driver continues to delivery.
Typical turnaround in Chicago
Facility match in 15 minutes. Dock time usually within 2 to 4 hours in major metros. A standard 26-pallet restack typically takes 2 to 4 hours of dock time once the driver arrives. Overnight and weekend reworks are routine.
What drives the cost
- Number of pallets and whether product must be fully unstacked or only straightened
- Replacement materials: new pallets, corner boards, stretch wrap, slip sheets
- Product type, including food-grade, hazmat or temperature-controlled handling
- Time of day, with after-hours and weekend work priced accordingly
- Whether the facility also needs to hold the freight overnight
