Moving Intermodal Freight in Dallas, Texas
The DrayNow intermodal platform is available for customers and carriers in the Dallas, Texas market!
Our platform connects intermodal customers with drayage 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 with cargo 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 intermodal drayage loads are typically originating out of the rails including the Union Pacific Dallas Intermodal Terminal, 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 owner operator 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, drayage capacity is already very available in Dallas/Fort Worth, with hundreds of carriers and drivers now qualified to haul intermodal drayage loads. Customers can also secure best-in-class drayage service for their contracted lanes by tapping into our capacity base. The heat map below shows the exact locations where our signed-up drayage carriers are based in comparison to the rail locations.
On top of drayage 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.
