Intermodal Rail, Drayage, FTL & LTL Trucking Services
Reliable land transportation throughout the United States, with cross-border intermodal rail into Canada and Mexico — drayage, rail, full truckload and LTL, all from one provider.
A vetted network, not whoever answered the phone
We have cultivated a network of trusted service providers across the country. Motor carriers selected to work with UWL have to meet stringent requirements: DOT compliance, FMCSA broker authority and licensing, TWIC compliance, hazmat certification, customs bonding and documentation, and on-time delivery performance.
We also partner with the major Class 1 railroads throughout North America. UWL and our transportation partners have earned a reputation for safety and reliability, and we treat each day as a test of it.
Our approach means every move, regardless of size, is handled with precision and urgency. Transportation is a significant link in your supply chain, and years of experience in it save you time and lift your operating efficiency.
Every leg between the port and the door
Drayage off the terminal, rail across the country, and trucks for the first and last mile.
Ocean drayage
Container moves off the terminal, backed by the owned assets of ContainerPort Group.
Intermodal rail
Long-haul over the Class 1 railroads, including cross-border lanes.
Full truckload (FTL)
Dedicated equipment when the volume fills a trailer.
Less than truckload (LTL)
Shared linehaul for freight that does not justify a full trailer.
Hazmat capability
Hazmat-certified partners, correct placarding and load planning.
Transload & distribution
Hand-off into the warehouse network once the box is inland.
Supply chain visibility
Milestones on the road leg, in the same platform as the ocean leg.
Optimised cost
Continual review of routing and mode to drive cost out of the lane.
Transportation across the U.S., and over both borders
Our network covers the continental United States, with cross-border intermodal service into Mexico and Canada. Because the ocean, customs and road legs sit on the same file, a delay in one is visible to the team handling the next rather than surfacing as a surprise at the gate.
On-time performance with the highest safety standards
Motor carriers in our network must hold DOT compliance, FMCSA broker authority, TWIC compliance, hazmat certification and customs bonding, and sustain reliable on-time delivery performance to stay in it.
UWL holds FMCSA broker authority and is a full-service licensed NVOCC, Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OTI), licensed and bonded freight forwarder, and C-TPAT certified. Our carrier partners are DOT and TWIC compliant, hazmat certified and customs bonded.
