Typical of other industrial Midwest cities like Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit, Milwaukee’s favorable location and manufacturing prowess have driven its steady growth. Its port on Lake Michigan and subsequent connection to international markets through the St. Lawrence Seaway and Atlantic Ocean, as well as a substantial system of rail lines crisscrossing throughout the region have allowed Milwaukee to become a strong manufacturing force in the Midwest with a presence in aluminum casting, automotive parts, and batteries. And though its economy has diversified to include a broader range of industries such as tourism, education, and financial services, the city remains a significant manufacturer and mover of cargo today. Trucking is a large part in the shipping industries of Milwaukee, and its connection to the Midwest corridor of interstates and rail lines gives the city a capable network with which to move goods into and out of the region at a competitive price.
