Our goal is to provide customers with safe, reliable, efficient, and professional transportation services while maintaining clear communication throughout each job.

Upon arriving at the pickup location, the driver follows the facility's check-in and safety procedures and verifies that the correct chassis is being retrieved. Before leaving the facility, the driver performs the appropriate inspection to identify visible safety concerns or equipment issues. Once the chassis is properly connected and determined to be suitable for transportation, the driver transports it to the designated destination while following applicable traffic laws, company safety procedures, and transportation requirements. Upon arrival, the driver follows the receiving facility's procedures, places or releases the chassis in the authorized location, completes required documentation, and communicates completion of the delivery to dispatch or management. Driver Responsibilities Drivers are expected to: Operate company equipment safely and professionally Maintain a valid driver's license/CDL appropriate for the vehicle being operated Complete required pre-trip and post-trip inspections Properly connect and disconnect chassis Verify chassis numbers and pickup/delivery information Follow dispatch instructions Maintain required transportation documentation Immediately report equipment defects, accidents, damage, or safety concerns Follow railroad, terminal, intermodal yard, and customer facility rules Maintain communication with dispatch regarding delays or changes Follow applicable federal, state, and local transportation regulations Maintain accurate records of completed pickups and deliveries Represent the company professionally when interacting with customers and facility personnel Safety Safety is a primary responsibility of our company. Drivers are expected to inspect their vehicles and transported equipment before operation and immediately report conditions that could make transportation unsafe. Drivers must follow company procedures regarding vehicle inspections, coupling and uncoupling, secure transportation, speed, railroad and terminal procedures, accident reporting, and safe operation in congested yards and commercial facilities. No driver should knowingly operate company equipment or transport a chassis when a condition exists that would make the movement unsafe or contrary to applicable requirements.
