Line haul trucking with Gelle Transport
Line haul trucking is the long-distance leg of a freight network — moving trailers between terminals, distribution centres, cross-docks and hubs, usually over hundreds of miles. Carriers, retailers, parcel networks and manufacturers use line haul to connect facilities efficiently and on a fixed schedule.
Scheduled and dedicated line haul
Many line haul moves run on a set schedule — for example, a nightly trailer between two distribution centres. Gelle Transport can provide scheduled line haul runs, drop-and-hook operations where we pick up a loaded trailer and leave an empty, and relay arrangements on longer lanes.
Why Kansas City works for line haul
Kansas City sits where Interstates 70, 35 and 29 meet, putting Chicago, Dallas, Denver, St. Louis, Omaha, Oklahoma City and Minneapolis within a day’s drive. That central location makes it an efficient base for line haul across the Midwest and beyond.
