Intermodal Loads for Owner Operators in Kansas City
The DrayNow app can be used by owner operator trucking companies interested in picking up 53’ intermodal container loads. Intermodal moves are typically local and involve the carrier picking up a container at a rail yard and delivering it to another location. There will be many different trip types to choose from, including live loads, live unloads, drop and hooks, and crosstowns.
The intermodal containers that carriers haul on drayage moves will be originating out of rail yards in the Kansas City region. These include the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) intermodal terminal in Grandview, the Union Pacific (UP) Neff Yard, the Norfolk Southern (NS) Voltz Yard and the BNSF Kansas City Logistics Park intermodal facility in Edgerton, Kansas. Prior to running a load originating out of a rail yard, carriers will need to be registered with whatever rail company associated with that location.
Carriers will need interstate authority because they will most likely be traveling in between states given Kansas City’s location, but also because the cargo that they are hauling has been moving interstate. On top of interstate authority, carriers will need $1 million general liability insurance, $100,000 cargo insurance, and a power unit.
