Asset-Based Dry Van Carrier in Metairie, LA

Asset-Based Dry Van Freight Services

With a population near 138,481, Metairie generates steady dry van demand from suburban retail, distribution, and consumer goods tied to the New Orleans metro — exactly the non-perishable cargo enclosed trailers carry best. Every shipment rides in an enclosed 53-foot trailer with a MigWay company driver assigned from dispatch straight through to delivery, so chain of custody never changes hands.

Louisiana's freight base runs on petrochemicals, liquefied natural gas, agricultural export, seafood, and shipbuilding, and the Port of New Orleans, Port of South Louisiana, and Port of Baton Rouge push import and export volume onto I-10 right through the metro. That mix shapes what moves through Metairie and when, so we plan trailers and appointment windows around each load's real packaging and schedule.

Coverage reaches the wider market too, including New Orleans (6 mi), Kenner (6 mi), and Marrero (8 mi), so multi-stop and consolidated routing across the metro around Metairie reads as one clean plan rather than separate trips.

When Metairie freight has to move, its position roughly 760 miles from our terminal works as a scheduled two-day OTR lane rather than an overnight, and we confirm the delivery window before dispatch. For shippers with regular metro volume, we set up dedicated lanes and drop trailers to keep capacity ready.
