Asset-Based Dry Van Freight Services
With about 65,060 residents, Ames centers on Iowa State University and agricultural research, producing dry van demand in lab, supply and food-related freight. Every shipment rides in an enclosed 53-foot trailer with a MigWay company driver assigned from dispatch to delivery, so chain of custody never changes hands.
Ames sits on the I-35 spine that meets I-80 at Des Moines, feeding into Iowa's ag-processing, ethanol, ag-equipment, wind-energy and food-manufacturing base. With Council Bluffs intermodal and Mississippi River barge terminals extending the network, we plan trailers and appointment windows around each load's packaging and schedule rather than one template for all.
Coverage runs down the corridor into the Des Moines metro, including Ankeny (25 mi), Urbandale (34 mi) and Des Moines (35 mi), so multi-stop and consolidated routing around Ames comes together as one coordinated plan instead of separate trips.
Ames is roughly 988 miles out, which we handle as a scheduled two-day OTR lane — not a same-day or next-day claim — confirming the delivery window before dispatch. For recurring volume we run dedicated lanes and drop-trailer programs to keep capacity and appointment windows reliable.
