Asset-Based Dry Van Freight Services

Home to about 64,113 residents, West Des Moines is a retail and financial-services suburb that generates dry van demand across distribution, packaged goods and commercial freight. Each load travels in an enclosed 53-foot trailer with a MigWay company driver assigned from dispatch through delivery, so chain of custody stays with us end to end.

On the west edge of the I-80/I-35 metro, West Des Moines taps Iowa's freight base of ag processing, ethanol and biofuels, ag equipment, wind-energy components and food manufacturing. With Council Bluffs intermodal and Mississippi River barge terminals adding reach, we plan trailers and appointment windows around each shipment's real requirements.

Coverage blankets the metro, including Urbandale (4 mi), Des Moines (7 mi) and Ankeny (14 mi), so multi-stop and consolidated routing around West Des Moines reads as a single clean plan rather than a patchwork of trips.

At roughly 974 miles, West Des Moines is a scheduled two-day OTR lane — never a same-day or next-day promise — with the delivery window confirmed before dispatch. For shippers with steady volume we build dedicated lanes and drop-trailer programs to keep capacity ready.
