We are excited to announce a new collaboration between AggregateMarkets.com and Gravel by Rail™, aiming to revolutionize the procurement and transportation of bulk gravel with trains across the United States. This partnership combines AggregateMarkets.com's expertise in delivering top-quality aggregates with Gravel by Rail's innovative rail transportation solutions, streamlining the supply chain for construction and landscaping projects nationwide.
About Gravel by Rail
Gravel by Rail™ specializes in simplifying the movement of bulk gravel orders through efficient rail transport. Their services connect gravel suppliers with rail services, eliminating logistical complexities and offering a cost-effective, sustainable solution for gravel transportation. With a comprehensive range of products—including crushed stone, gravel rock, crushed concrete, cobble rock, pea gravel, and road base—Gravel by Rail™ caters to diverse project needs.
This collaboration enables AggregateMarkets.com customers to access extensive transportation network, ensuring timely and efficient delivery of bulk gravel products. By leveraging rail transport, we can reduce transportation costs and environmental impact, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional trucking methods.
Rail is the most efficient, scalable, and sustainable way to move 5000+ tons of material over long distances. One train can carry the equivalent of 250+ trucks, which means:
📉 Lower cost per ton
Rail transport can move bulk materials at a fraction of the cost of long-haul trucking. A single freight train can carry the same load as over 250 trucks — meaning lower fuel costs and fewer man-hours per ton delivered. From 5,000 tons to 100,000 tons, rail makes it possible. If you're working on large municipal or infrastructure projects, we now have the capacity to fulfill and deliver huge volumes with ease.
📆 More reliable delivery
Through intermodal logistics network, we can now deliver bulk materials to more remote and underserved areas that are far from local quarries. Trains follow strict timetables, so your deliveries are easier to plan and predict compared to long-haul trucking, which can face delays due to road conditions or driver shortages.
🌎 Reduced carbon footprint
Rail is the most fuel-efficient way to move bulk freight over land. Fewer trucks on highways = fewer emissions and less wear on public roads.
Through our partnership with Gravel by Rail™, your materials can now be loaded directly at the quarry and transported via rail to the closest terminal — from there, our tipper trucks and small dump trucks complete last-mile delivery to your job site.
If your project requires more than 5000 tons of material, rail is almost always cheaper per ton. Trucking makes sense for smaller or last-mile deliveries, and we still use it — but by combining it with rail for long-distance hauling, we reduce total project costs and speed up delivery times.
Not at all. That’s the beauty of our partnership. You’ll still order through AggregateMarkets.com as usual — and our platform and logistics system (powered by Ayren) will coordinate the rail shipment with Gravel by Rail™ behind the scenes. Simple, seamless, and transparent.
Gravel by Rail offers a wide variety of bulk materials:
No! We coordinate offloading at the nearest rail terminal and connects to local trucking partners for final delivery. We ensure it reaches your exact location — whether you're in a city or a remote job site.
This is for everyone — municipalities, construction firms, and even independent contractors. If you need large volumes of aggregate and want the best pricing with dependable delivery, this service is for you.
This partnership is part of our long-term vision: to digitize and optimize the entire construction material supply chain. Rail is just one more tool in the toolbox — but it’s a powerful one. We’re making nationwide distribution smarter, faster, and greener.
Whether you're working on a new subdivision, a state highway, or a commercial foundation — we’re here to help you get materials delivered without the hassle.
