It does seem like Chicago is becoming the center for this kind of thing with Coyote, UberFreight, etc. Not the sexiest part of tech (if you want to call it tech) but still lots of good, wellpaying jobs nonetheless. It's too bad the lower-level jobs this creates in warehousing, distro, etc are A) not very well paid and B) not concentrated in Chicago but spread nationally.

After the Bay Area, NYC is the largest start up scene and also in terms of VC funding so it does make some sense in those terms. There are multiple successful logistics startups and companies in NYC but it does make sense for them to be in Chicago moreso I think.
