I have a cousin who has a small company that unloads barges in Chicago. It's mainly things like pig iron from South America, scrap, etc. A lot of it just comes up the Mississippi, through the Cal-Sag, etc. It's then loaded onto trucks and shipped over to places like US Steel in Indiana.

It has not been going well.

On the plus side, the St. Laurence has never been busier! So, there's that.
