As an independent carrier, we’re not owned by logistics conglomerates who might compete for your customers. When major consolidators acquire drayage companies, your shipper data and customer relationships can end up in the hands of your competitors. With Mark-it Express, your business intelligence stays confidential – we’re your partner, not your competition.

We understand many 3PLs come from OTR backgrounds where a truck picks up a trailer and delivers it. International intermodal is more complex. We’ll teach you why there might be two chassis splits on one move, what flip fees really mean, and why private chassis can trigger unexpected charges. This knowledge protects your margins and prevents embarrassing conversations with customers about why their costs increased.

The rate we quote is the rate that shows up on your invoice. No surprise accessorials that destroy your margins weeks later. We’ll explain every potential charge upfront so you can build accurate customer quotes. Our transparent approach means you won’t get caught explaining unexpected charges to your customers.

Unlike competitors who might broker your freight downstream or rely on owner-operators, we own our operation:

• Company-owned trucks maintained to the highest safety standards
• W-2 drivers who represent our brand professionally every day
• Equipment availability when others can’t deliver
• Real accountability backed by experience

We focus exclusively on international intermodal – the complex, high-value moves that require genuine expertise. We don’t chase low-margin domestic intermodal that competes directly with truckload rates. When you need international container expertise, you need specialists who live this business every day, not generalists trying to do everything.
