How we work

From quote to signed BOL, in four steps.

Quote

Send origin, destination, weight and commodity. You get a real number and a pickup window, back within the hour.

Dispatch

We match the load to a tractor and lock the window with the shipper. You get the driver name and the truck number.

In transit

Live GPS on every load, plus a check call at the first two hundred miles and again at each state line.

Delivery

Signed BOL and dock photos land in your panel the same day. The invoice goes out with the paperwork attached.

Fleet

Our own trailers, not a broker's list.

Every unit below runs under our authority with a driver on payroll. Nothing gets reposted to a load board and nothing gets handed to a second carrier halfway.

Dry van

Trailer: 53 ft · air ride
Capacity: 26 pallets · 45,000 lb

Reefer

Produce, dairy and frozen, with the unit running before the trailer reaches your dock.

Trailer: 53 ft · air ride
Range: −10 °F to 60 °F
Logging: Continuous, sent with the BOL

Flatbed and step deck

Building material, machinery and anything that will not go inside a box.

Capacity: 48,000 lb

Container out of the port and onto your dock, with the chassis back before free time runs out.

Container: 20 ft and 40 ft
Chassis: Under our own name
Ports: Savannah, Houston, Newark
In service: 34

Coverage

Six lanes we run every week.

On these corridors we already have trailers moving, so the rate comes back the same hour. Anywhere else in the lower 48 we still quote, and it comes back the next morning.

4 minAverage answer on the dispatch desk

We run three plants and the same complaint came up every year: carriers that go quiet after pickup. Northline sends the check call before anybody here has to ask for it.

Tell us the load. We answer with a number.

Origin, destination and a way to reach you are enough to start. A dispatcher replies with a rate and a pickup window.
