In Kansas City, we’re running 71 company drivers with 89 trucks, and over 100 combined standard, triaxle, and spread-axle chassis to handle your toughest loads. With two yard locations for empty container storage and a versatile transload warehouse, we’ve got space, equipment, and flexibility. We’re actively looking to take on more export street turns—let’s talk if Kansas City fits your network.
Chicago No No 48 hours Today, Chicago’s intermodal rail operations are running at full strength, backed by ongoing infrastructure upgrades that continue to reduce congestion and improve efficiency. The launch of Union Pacific's new Z-train service, delivering faster connection between Southern California’s Inland Empire and Chicago’s Global 2 terminal, marks a significant upgrade in transit speeds for the region. Need Chicago containers moved fast? Our asset-based drayage team is fully loaded and ready to roll. With 88 trucks, 150 chassis (yes, even 20’s), plus over 100 tri-axle and spread axles combined, we’ve got the specialized equipment to handle it all — including heavy-haul with secured permits. Add in our secured yard space and top-tier service, and you’ve got the ultimate Chicago drayage solution.
