Rail Transloading in the Heart of the Willamette Valley
The Problem
Rail is cheap and efficient for long distances. But rail alone almost never gets your product to the customer. Somewhere between the railcar and the loading dock, freight has to change modes. That’s where supply chains usually break.
Delays at transload yards. Damaged product from rough handling. Railcars piling up demurrage while you hunt for a truck. You shouldn’t have to coordinate three vendors to get one shipment delivered.
Our Transloading Services
Rail to Truck
Inbound railcars come right to our spurs. We unload and transfer the freight to our trucks for final delivery across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
Truck to Rail
Outbound freight comes in by truck, gets transferred to railcars at our yard, and ships out on the rail network. Makes sense for long-haul destinations where rail beats trucking on cost.
Railcar Loading and Unloading
Direct loading and unloading for customers shipping by rail. Bulk, containerized, or palletized.
Storage Plus Transload
Unload from rail, store in our warehouse, release to trucks on your schedule. One facility, one invoice, no coordination headaches.
