Equipment built for the road ahead
At CDR Transport, we utilize reliable power units paired with leased chassis specifically suited for intermodal container movement between ports, rail yards, and customer locations. Our road-ready tractors are designed for drayage operations, and our leased chassis are compatible with 20ft, 40ft, high cube, and reefer containers.
Our equipment is selected to support the fast-paced demands of port and rail logistics, ensuring quick container transfers and optimized short-turn routes for same-day and next-day service. We offer flexible chassis access, ensuring availability when it matters most.
Safety is a priority with every piece of equipment we use. This includes regular inspections and maintenance to meet DOT standards, equipment properly matched to load type and weight, and operation by trained, certified drivers who are TWIC and HAZMAT compliant. The right equipment, combined with the right drivers, leads to fewer delays and enhanced safety.
Prioritizing safety on every journey
