Services

  • Single Point of Contact - We work with the railroads, ship lines, riggers, and heavy-haulers throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico to ensure that your project goes smoothly.

  • Confidential Correspondence - Because we value confidentiality as much as you do, all correspondence, drawings, and information you provide are treated as private and confidential.

  • Rail Route Studies / Surveys - This service can be invaluable to determine if extremely over-dimensional loads can be cleared and to find a rail siding that is suitable for loading and offloading.

  • Engineering / Drawings - With in-house AutoCAD capabilities, we can generate drawings that show how your cargo will be loaded and secured to a railcar.

  • Clearances - Rail clearances can be a challenging part of a rail shipping solution. Fortunately, we do this every day.

  • Insurance - We are able to provide insurance for your cargo while being shipped on the railroads, through Cooper/T. Smith, our parent company.

  • Equipment - SRT owns (and operates) a 450-ton capacity 20-axle rail car and 3 cabooses. For shipments not requiring this equipment, we work with railcar owners on a regular basis to obtain standard and other specialized railcars. Check out our Equipment.

  • Tiedowns / Certified Supervisors - We have AAR Certified Supervisors with the experience necessary to ensure that your cargo is properly secured - on time and in budget.

  • Rail Expeditor Service (Rail Rider) - For urgent shipments we offer a personal rail expeditor to travel with your cargo to help reduce transit time.

  • Daily Tracking Reports - Keeping up with railcars can be a challenge, but by staying in constant contact with the railroads and other resources, we can provide daily email reports for empty and loaded cars.

  • GPS / Impact Recorders - We have state of the art GPS/Impact Recorder Units available to track and monitor your shipment.

  • Turn-key Pricing & Partnering - We focus on rail and partnering with Rigging Companies and Heavy-Haulers all over the country to handle the loading, off-loading, and trucking of your cargo. This saves you time and money - one call, one invoice, with our commitment to excellence.
