“DNJ Intermodal Services specializes in the import and export of containerized shipments in and out of St. Louis and Upper Midwest. With close to 100,000 import and export shipments in 2017, International trade is the backbone of what we do.
Here at DNJ, any opportunity for local businesses to partner with The Southwest Illinois Trade & Investment Council is an opportunity not only to grow our respective businesses, but an opportunity for the region. We think that’s a win for everyone, and we highly recommend the Council.”

“International trade, particularly exporting, has had a significant, positive impact not only on our business but on the local transportation industry as well. Our industry has increased the number of drivers hired and equipment purchased to keep pace with an increased demand due to exporting. The amount of product moved via truck, rail and barge has been a huge benefit to our region.”
