R2R Intermodal

Your container leaves the ramp on time, because we own the truck pulling it.

R2R Intermodal is an asset-based drayage carrier serving the Chicago and Houston rail ramps and ports. Our trucks, our chassis, our drivers. When you need a container moved, you are not waiting on someone else's capacity.

  • Hauling containers since 2006
  • Company-owned trucks and chassis
  • Same-day delivery paperwork
  • Live tracking link on every load

You already know how a bad drayage move goes

The container sits.

Nobody pulled it in time, and now you are paying demurrage on a box you never touched. The charge lands on your desk, and your customer wants to know why.

Nobody tells you anything.

You send the third email asking where the driver is. By the time you get an answer, you have already had to make something up for the shipper.

The invoice has surprises on it.

Charges you never agreed to, added after the fact. Now you are disputing a bill instead of moving the next load.

We built our operation around not doing those three things.

How we run a load

Four steps, and you can see where your container is at every one of them.

  1. 01

    We quote the lane.

    You send us the pickup, the delivery, and the container. We come back with a rate that includes the accessorials we can see coming, so the invoice matches the quote.

  2. 02

    We book and send you a tracking link.

    The load goes into our system and you get a live link the same day. You do not have to ask where it is.

  3. 03

    We schedule the appointments and tell you when.

    We watch the last free day and the per diem clock, book the pickup and delivery windows, and send you the confirmed times.

  4. 04

    We deliver and file the paperwork that day.

    Proof of delivery and every required document goes in the same day it is delivered. Billing is clean and closeout is fast.
