Louisiana Dedicated Lane Service

Dedicated carrier solutions for America's petrochemical corridor and Gulf gateway

Louisiana's freight identity is dominated by the petrochemical industry — the state's 'Chemical Corridor' along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans contains the densest concentration of refineries and chemical plants in the Western Hemisphere. ExxonMobil, Dow, BASF, Sasol, and dozens of other producers create enormous dedicated tanker, flatbed, and specialized carrier demand for raw materials, finished chemicals, and maintenance equipment that moves daily between these facilities. The Port of South Louisiana (between New Orleans and Baton Rouge) is the largest tonnage port in the Western Hemisphere, handling over 300 million tons annually. Combined with the Port of New Orleans and the Port of Lake Charles, Louisiana's port system generates dedicated drayage, breakbulk, and container relay freight that keeps carriers busy year-round. LNG export terminals at Sabine Pass and Cameron Parish have added a new dedicated freight dimension. Beyond petrochemicals, Louisiana's seafood industry (the #1 producer of crawfish, shrimp, and oysters in the U.S.), the Cajun food processing corridor around Iberia Parish, and the massive grain export elevators along the Mississippi create a diverse dedicated lane portfolio. New Orleans' food service and hospitality industry demands daily dedicated reefer service from distribution centers across the Gulf South.
