The DrayNow intermodal platform is available for customers and carriers in the Dallas, Texas market!

Our platform connects intermodal customers with capacity and technology solutions for their intermodal freight, while our free mobile app connects carriers with this freight.

For anyone unfamiliar with intermodal freight transport, it refers to the transportation of freight from the rail or port to its next destination. Drivers are usually either picking up an empty container from a rail yard and using that to get loaded at a shipper or picking up a loaded container from the rail to get unloaded at the consignee.

In the Dallas/Fort Worth area these loads are typically originating out of the rails including BNSF Alliance, UP Mesquite, KCS Wylie and UP Wilmer. Intermodal loads are shorter than what you would see in over-the-road trucking, so carriers can expect to stay local with these runs.

If you’re a carrier looking to expand your current trucking business, download the app at the link below and get started on your registration process.

For Intermodal Marketing Companies (IMCs) and Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCOs) looking to post freight, capacity is already very available in Dallas/Fort Worth, with hundreds of carriers and drivers now qualified to haul intermodal drayage loads. The heat map below shows the exact locations where our signed-up carriers are based in comparison to the rail locations.

On top of capacity, the DrayNow platform offers customers real-time tracking and updates on each load that gets covered, while they’re in progress. All documentation is done right on the platform to ensure efficiency and streamline all processes.

At DrayNow, our technology is driving capacity each and every day. If you’re interested in getting capacity for intermodal freight in the Dallas area, fill out the form below to get in touch with us!
