Asset-Based Dry Van Freight Services

With a population near 74,220, Iowa City generates recurring dry van demand tied to its university, biotech and medical supply base along with local food and retail 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.

Iowa City sits on I-80 between the Quad Cities and Des Moines, part of a state freight system of ag processing, ethanol and biofuels, ag equipment, wind-energy components and food manufacturing. With Mississippi River barge terminals and Council Bluffs intermodal in the mix, we plan trailers and appointment windows around each load's real needs rather than a single template.

Coverage extends up and down the corridor, including Cedar Rapids (29 mi), Marion (31 mi) and Davenport (59 mi), so multi-stop and consolidated routing around Iowa City reads as one clean plan instead of several separate trips.

Iowa City is roughly 865 miles out, which we run as a scheduled two-day OTR lane — not a same-day or next-day claim — with the delivery window confirmed before dispatch. For shippers with regular volume we build dedicated lanes and drop-trailer programs to keep capacity and windows reliable.
