Based in North Kansas City, Missouri, we serve commercial lanes across the continental United States, subject to route coverage, fleet availability and operating authority. Kansas City’s position at the junction of I-70, I-35 and I-29 — and its status as a major rail hub — makes it an efficient base for national freight.
FTL, LTL or intermodal: choosing the right option
| Full truckload (FTL) | Less than truckload (LTL) | Intermodal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical size | About 10+ pallets, or a full trailer | 1–6 pallets | Full container or trailer |
| Handling | Direct, no transfers | Shared trailer, terminal transfers | Truck to rail to truck |
| Speed | Fastest door to door | Slower, depends on network | Competitive on long lanes |
| Best for | Large, fragile or urgent freight | Small, palletised shipments | Long-distance, cost-sensitive freight |
How to prepare your freight
Why a Kansas City carrier?
Kansas City sits where Interstates 70, 35 and 29 meet, putting much of the United States within a day or two’s drive. It is also one of the country’s largest rail centres, served by several Class I railroads, which makes intermodal a natural extension of our trucking. For shippers, that central location means efficient lanes to the East and West Coasts, the Gulf, the Upper Midwest and Texas.
