The Lake County courts in Crown Point, Community Hospital in Munster, the Merrillville corporate corridor, the mills and refinery on the lakefront — Comet Messenger runs Northwest Indiana every business day. Pickup typically dispatches in 45–90 minutes during business hours, and it's all Central Time.
Comet Messenger Service covers Northwest Indiana — Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago, Gary, Munster, Highland, Schererville, Dyer, Merrillville, Crown Point, Hobart, Portage, Valparaiso, and Michigan City. The Chicago Skyway and I-90/I-94 put the border about 30 minutes from Comet's near-west-side hub, so most Northwest Indiana pickups dispatch within 45–90 minutes. Same clock, too — the region is on Central Time. Call (312) 786-2288 — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Northwest Indiana is three jobs in one region: healthcare anchored by Community Hospital in Munster, Methodist's Northlake and Southlake campuses, and the Franciscan Health network; legal anchored by the Lake County Government Center in Crown Point, the Porter County Courthouse in Valparaiso, and the federal courthouse in Hammond; and industry anchored by the lakefront corridor — the BP Whiting Refinery, the Indiana Harbor and Gary Works steel mills, and the Port of Indiana–Burns Harbor. Comet runs all three, every business day.
