Intermodal Drayage

Simply put, we are the oldest and the best intermodal rail interchanging motor carrier in the Midwest. Our extensive experience in and relationships with railroads in the Chicago gateway along with intermodal managers with deep experience interacting with railroads and their shipping customers put us in a class of our own. Our proprietary management information system was specifically designed to facilitate intermodal moves.

We built our terminal facilities close to the major rail ramps because the majority of large distribution and fulfillment centers are in our backyard. We have the highest lane density in this corridor with all of the productivity that promises.

Cross-Dock

We operate over 100,000 square feet of high-velocity terminal facilities to handle international-to-domestic transloads, recurring vendor LTL assembly, consolidation and distribution to various destinations across North America. Freight assembled in the morning is reconfigured, reloaded and on its way by road or rail to its destination by early evening the same day.

These specialized terminal facilities make ideal platforms for the reduction of the use of traditional LTL providers through same-day consolidation and shipment while eliminating handling and the opportunity for damage.

Regional Truckload

Regional Truckload is an extension of our local truckload fleet and handles out-of-region freight for our Dedicated and Intermodal divisions. It also creates lane density and driver productivity by engaging in spot availability of non-controlled freight to triangulate or add reciprocal freight volumes.
