We move dangerous goodsunder one operator.
Integrated drayage, transload, in-transit holding, long-haul, Fire Marshal escort, and licensed brokerage — under one USDOT, one safety record, one operator. SDVOSB veteran-owned. DOD-approved.
One phone call instead of seven.
In the fragmented model the customer sits in the middle and has to coordinate every vendor separately — broker, drayage, transload, holding, long-haul, container source, and Fire Marshal escort coordinator. In Ramar's integrated model the customer has one relationship.
Who runs the coordination
You do. Seven separate vendors, seven phone numbers, seven contracts, seven bills, seven insurance certificates. None of them talk to each other — when a window slips, you're the one calling around to re-sequence the chain.
Where it breaks
At every handoff. Liability resets, paperwork is re-created, margins stack, and the documentation trail an auditor needs six months later sits across three carriers' record systems that don't reconcile.
Eight services.
One chain of custody.
Every Ramar service stacks into the integrated model — a drayage call becomes a holding call becomes a long-haul call without a paperwork reset.
Eight ports.
One operator.
From Philadelphia to Jacksonville, Ramar drays under one USDOT number across every commercial port on the U.S. Atlantic coast. Every pin opens a port-specific operations brief.
Defense-grade rigor for commercial-grade volume.
Same HAZMAT credentials, same Atlantic Coast network, same integrated operations — different buyers. Pick the side that describes your freight.
