  • Scrap metal

    Ferrous and non-ferrous loads out of plants, fabricators and yards. Our drivers know the scale house and don't hold up the line.

  • Standing lanes

    Same freight, same days. We put it on the schedule and hold the truck. A standing lane is how a fleet of eight gives you capacity on the day the brokers can't find any.

Where we run

About forty road miles off the yard.

Everything we run sits within about forty road miles of Carleton. Far enough to cover the plants and mills in two states, close enough that every truck is back at the yard at night.

We keep it short on purpose. Short lanes mean the same driver on your dock every time, and a truck that's never a day away when something moves early. A load just past the end of the line is worth a phone call.
