Our Process from Car Arrival to Release
Every car that enters our facility for transload work follows a documented workflow. There are no shortcuts on condition reporting — we tell you what we found and what we did.
1. Arrival Inspection
Incoming cars are visually inspected for structural condition, safety appliance status, and any pre-existing damage prior to transload work. Noted defects are documented before work begins.
2. Work Execution
Transload operations are staged to match truck dispatch schedules, with spotting and pulls coordinated to keep product moving and dwell to a minimum.
3. Post-Work Verification
Transload transfers are verified for quantity and product integrity before the rail car is released.
4. Release & Documentation
Cars cleared for release are returned to the interchange or held as directed. Documentation covering work performed, condition findings, and release status is provided to the car owner or responsible party.
