FAQ

Questions about finding capacity on Commtrex.

What can I find on Commtrex?

Commtrex helps shippers search for logistics providers, facilities, and services across the North American freight network. Depending on the move, that can include transload, trucking and drayage, rail-served facilities, rail services, warehousing and 3PL, ports and terminals, intermodal facilities, railcar storage, bulk and liquid capabilities, and industrial real estate.

How do I search for a logistics provider?

Start with the origin and destination of your move, then add the service or capability you need. Additional freight, equipment, handling, storage, mode, and transportation requirements can provide more context for narrowing the search.

Can I search by origin and destination?

Yes. Origin and destination are core parts of the Find Capacity experience and provide geographic context for identifying providers and facilities that may be relevant to the move.

Can I search by freight type or commodity?

Freight requirements can help narrow the types of providers and capabilities relevant to a move. Commtrex represents freight and provider capabilities across areas such as dry bulk, liquid bulk, breakbulk, intermodal, project cargo, temperature-controlled freight, and other specialized requirements.

Does Commtrex cover providers outside of rail?

Yes. Commtrex has extensive rail and rail-served logistics coverage, but the network is multimodal. Shippers can also research trucking and drayage, ports and marine terminals, intermodal providers, warehousing and 3PL, bulk and liquid terminals, industrial real estate, and other logistics services.

What if I don’t know which type of provider I need?

Start with what you know about the move: origin, destination, freight, mode, equipment, handling, storage, or other requirements. That context can help narrow the types of providers and capabilities relevant to the search.
