Grizzly’s Specialized Freight division operates a developing rail-served transload and fuel distribution system, allowing bulk materials and fuel to be delivered efficiently and distributed across North Carolina and surrounding regions.
At the core of Grizzly’s rail operations is a transload facility designed to transfer bulk freight from railcars directly to trucks for local and regional delivery.
This process allows industries to benefit from the cost-efficiency of rail transport while maintaining the flexibility of truck-based distribution.
Materials are received by rail, staged within the yard, and transferred using specialized equipment such as loaders, conveyors, and pumping systems depending on the type of freight.
