Shipping and logistics
Domestic and international freight. FTL, LTL, expedite, high-care. Live track on the box. We are also the desk that will move a data center or a mining farm — work most carriers will not touch.
01 / What moves
Specialty: data-center relocations and crypto-mining operations. Same desk still handles a pallet or a dedicated truck — with a chain of custody that survives a live hall.
Racks, miners, GPUs, PDUs, and the power gear that cannot sit on a common dock. Maintenance-window pickups. Sealed, watched, appointed into a live hall. SDO on the yard. MAA on the receiving site when the dock has to be wired.
Dedicated iron when the cube is yours. Consolidation when it is not. Vetted carriers. A POD that is not a rumor.
Team drivers and a clock you can put on a production meeting. Plant down. Show opens. Hall waiting on a crate.
Local to international without the file going quiet at customs. Papers travel with the freight.
Insured. Sealed. Dual control when you want it. The kind of cargo that gets followed — electronics, fixtures, evidence, integration kit.
Cross-dock, appointment, last hundred yards onto a campus. The dock is part of the lane, not an afterthought.
Position, load sense, driver check, route math. Exceptions before the customer writes. When SDO is on the file, a person sees the gate — not only a pin.
02 / Alliance
The lane is useless if the yard is blind and the trailer is unwatched. That is why the other two shops are on the paperwork.
Carriers, drivers, routing, insurance, appointments, seals, PODs. Origin to destination.
24/7 AI plus vetted operators on yards, gates, and high-value loads in motion. Talk-down. Verified response.
Cameras, access, network, site work. The receiving dock and the data hall are not a dark hole at 2 a.m.
03 / Before pickup
Who is on the iron. Who sees the track. What the policy covers. What happens if the seal is wrong. Whether the receiving site has a working camera. We settle that in writing — not after a claim.
Send origin and dest04 / Before you tender
Straight answers. If a number belongs on a certificate, it is not invented here — ask dispatch and they send the paper.
Yes — that is a specialty. Hall-to-hall, row pulls, and miner/GPU crates. Tight windows. Sealed high-care. We coordinate the receiving dock so hash and compute are not sitting in a parking lot. SDO watches the move when you want eyes. MAA wires the site when the dock is the risk.
Origin and destination (city, state, zip). Pickup date and whether it is appointment or FCFS. Pieces, weight, dimensions. Class if you have it. Freight description. Accessorials: liftgate, inside, residential, limited access, hazmat. If it is high-value, declared value and whether you want SDO on the watch.
We run the file. Iron is a mix of dedicated and rigorously vetted partners. You get one POD and one throat to choke — not a chain of names you never met.
Live position and exception texts. Load sensors when the commodity warrants it. If the file is marked watched, Sheep Dog One has a person on the gate and the trailer, not only a pin on a map.
Cargo coverage rides with the move. High-value needs a declared value on the rate request or the policy will not match the crate. Ask for the certificate before pickup — do not wait for a claim.
Dispatch gets the exception first. You get the call before your customer writes. Wrong seal or a yard event on a watched load goes to an SDO operator: talk-down if that ends it, clip and notes if it does not.
Yes — appointment, limited access, campus, data hall. If the dock is blind, M. Alan Associates can put cameras and access on it so delivery is not the weak point.
Yes. Commercial invoice, packing list, and whoever is importer of record need to be on the file before the line. The track does not go dark at customs.
Complete packet, same-day rate on standard lanes. Expedite and odd-dimension or high-value may take a second look. Incomplete packets wait.
