Capabilities
What We Haul, We Handle.
Six equipment types under one dispatch desk and one invoice. If a shipment needs two of them, you still talk to one person.
Less Than Truckload
Pay for the space you use. Our LTL matching engine consolidates compatible freight on lanes we already run, which is where the savings actually come from.
150–15,000 lbClass 50–500Liftgate avail.
Refrigerated
Continuous temperature logging from −20°F to +65°F with a downloadable audit trail. Reefer breakdown triggers an automatic swap-out, not a phone tree.
−20°F to +65°FMulti-tempFSMA compliant
Flatbed & Oversized
Step-decks, RGNs, and multi-axle configurations. We pull the permits, plan the route survey, and arrange escorts before your load leaves the yard.

Expedited
Team drivers, hot-shot sprinters, and guaranteed delivery windows. When a line is down, the freight cost stops being the expensive part.
Team drivers1,000 mi/dayGuaranteed
Intermodal
Rail linehaul with our own drayage on both ends. Roughly 30% lower emissions and 12–18% lower cost on long-haul lanes that can absorb a day.
53' containers−30% CO₂Drayage incl.
Network
Forty-Eight States. Six Terminals.
Company terminals in Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Fresno, Newark, and Denver — plus a vetted partner network that fills the gaps without you ever knowing there was one.

Company-owned, late-model, and maintained on a 90-day preventive cycle rather than a break-fix one. Average unit age is 2.8 years because that is where reliability and cost cross.

Why Shippers Stay
Visibility, Safety, and a Number That Doesn't Move.
Safety First, Measured Monthly
FMCSA rating: Satisfactory. Every driver clears a full MVR review, hair-follicle screening, and a road test before their first solo dispatch — then a safety scorecard review every month after. Our DOT recordable rate runs well under the national average, and we publish it to any customer who asks.
0.41Recordables / M mi
Real-Time Visibility
GPS position every 15 minutes, automatic ETA recalculation on traffic and weather, and exception alerts pushed to email or straight into your TMS. API and EDI integrations available for shippers running more than 20 loads a month — no per-seat portal fee, ever.
15 minPing interval
No Hidden Fees
The quoted rate is all-in: linehaul, fuel surcharge, and standard accessorials included. Detention and layover terms are stated on the quote before you book, not discovered on the invoice. Quotes are firm for seven days.

One Desk, One Invoice
You get a named account manager and a backup who knows your freight. Multi-modal shipments — a reefer leg plus an intermodal leg, say — still arrive as one booking, one tracking link, and one consolidated invoice at month end.

What Our Shippers Say.
IronRoute never misses. We have run forty-plus loads across the Midwest and they have delivered inside the window every single time. That is not luck at that volume — it is dispatch discipline.40+ loads · 100% on-time
Their reefer team carried our produce operation through peak season. When a unit faulted in Bakersfield they had a replacement trailer under the load in under three hours and we lost nothing.Zero spoilage · Peak season
Switching to IronRoute cut our freight spend eighteen percent and improved service at the same time, which everybody promises and almost nobody delivers. The LTL consolidation is the real thing.−18% freight spend

Questions
Straight Answers, No Runaround.
Under two hours during business days on any lane inside our network, and same-day on everything else. The rate you receive is all-in — linehaul, fuel surcharge, and standard accessorials — and it is firm for seven days so you can take it to your own approval process without it moving underneath you.
Linehaul, fuel surcharge, and standard accessorials such as tarping on flatbed or a single stop-off. Detention, layover, and driver-assist terms are printed on the quote itself with the free-time allowance stated, so the only way the invoice changes is if something on the ground changed. We do not add fees after delivery.
$2,000,000 in cargo coverage and $1,000,000 auto liability as standard, with certificates issued directly to you on request. Higher-value loads can be scheduled up with additional coverage arranged before dispatch — tell us the declared value when you request the quote and we will price it in rather than surprise you.
Yes. We support EDI 204/214/210 and a REST API for tendering, status, and invoicing. Shippers running more than twenty loads a month get integration setup at no cost, and there is never a per-seat portal charge. Typical implementation is two to three weeks including test cycles with your team.
You hear it from us before you hear it from your receiver. Our system recalculates ETA on every fifteen-minute ping and fires an exception alert the moment the arrival window is at risk, along with the recovery plan. On guaranteed expedited service, a missed window means the linehaul charge comes off the invoice.
We handle most non-bulk hazmat classes with hazmat-endorsed drivers and placarding handled at dispatch. Classes 1 and 7 are outside our scope. Send the UN number and packing group with your quote request and we will confirm capability the same day rather than after you have booked.
Net 30 on approved credit, with a straightforward one-page application and a decision inside two business days. New shippers can start on a per-load basis while credit is being set up. Monthly consolidated invoicing is available for accounts running regular volume, which most controllers prefer to a stack of individual bills.
