What we haul

The freight we run

We haul general commodities in dry vans — palletized and floor-loaded freight, industrial parts, packaged consumer goods. No hazmat, no reefer.

FTL

Full truckload, 53' dry van

One shipper, one trailer, dock to dock. Standard 53' equipment, forklift and dock-height loading.

Expedited

Time-critical runs

For down lines and missed delivery windows. We put the closest tractor on it and keep you updated until it unloads.

Contract

Dedicated lanes

Repeating volume on a fixed weekly schedule, with trailers committed to the lane.

Drop

Drop trailer & drop-and-hook

We spot a trailer at your dock so your crew loads on its own clock — no driver waiting, no detention clock.

Regional

Midwest & Great Lakes

Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania round trips, often back the same day.

OTR

Long haul, lower 48

Southeast, Texas and the Northeast corridor. Solo and relay coverage on long lengths of haul.


Safety & compliance

A boring safety department is a competitive advantage

We keep a clean inspection profile because we audit our own driver files before the DOT does.

  • Driver files kept to 49 CFR §391 MVR, PSP, medical certification and employment verification — checked before the first dispatch and re-reviewed on schedule.
  • Continuous MVR monitoring We hear about a violation when it happens, not a year later at renewal.
  • ELD and cameras on every unit Samsara telematics: hours of service, road- and cab-facing cameras, harsh-event alerts. Incident footage available on request.
  • Same-day certificate of insurance Tell us who to name as additional insured and our broker sends the COI direct.
