Ground transport
Most cargo touches the road. Members run the drayage, OTR and final-mile legs that bookend ocean and air movements.
What our members do
The practical scope of ground transport
- Drayage. SmartWay-certified motor carriers at the top twelve U.S. container ports.
- Intermodal. Container-on-flatcar through BNSF and UP corridors.
- LTL & FTL. Consolidation hubs in Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and the Inland Empire.
- Cross-border. FAST-certified trucking into Canada and Mexico, with C-TPAT supply-chain visibility.
- Final-mile & white-glove. Residential and B2B delivery for high-value and oversize freight.
The Alliance does not directly broker shipments. Instead, we maintain a peer network where licensed practitioners share documentation templates, regulatory updates and lessons learned — the kind of institutional knowledge that used to travel only between desks in the same office.

Common questions about ground transport
Are members brokered or asset-based?
Both. The directory lets shippers filter for asset-based, brokered or hybrid operators.
How is chassis availability tracked?
The drayage working group publishes a monthly chassis index by port.
Do you cover hazmat?
Yes — hazmat-endorsed drivers are listed as a directory attribute.
