Four Steps to Seamless Integration

How MB3 manages your freight from door-to-door using optimized rail partnerships.

1. First Mile Pickup

Our truck picks up your containerized freight directly from your facility, ensuring secure loading and immediate dispatch.

2. Terminal Drayage

We transport your container to the nearest rail ramp and manage the complex lift and transfer process with total precision.

3. Rail Line-Haul

Your freight travels cross-country via our Class I railroad partners, capitalizing on high-efficiency fuel savings and speed.

4. Last Mile Delivery

Our regional fleet meets the cargo at the destination ramp for immediate final delivery to your customer's door.
