Moving freight the right way — with railroad relationships dating to the early 2000s.
LaserNet Jax was founded in Jacksonville, Florida in 2008 by John Wagner with a straightforward premise: shippers and 3PL partners deserved direct access to railroad capacity without a broker layer inflating the cost and degrading the service.
Eighteen years and over 25,000 shipments later, that premise hasn't changed. LaserNet Jax remains an independently owned, Jacksonville-based Intermodal Marketing Company with direct contracts with CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, CN Rail, and CP Rail — plus access to BNSF-served lanes through established carrier relationships — plus access to BNSF-served lanes through established carrier relationships in the United States and Canada.
The intermodal freight industry has a transparency problem. Most providers who offer intermodal services are freight brokers purchasing capacity from a true IMC and adding a markup before passing it to you. You pay more, you have less direct access when problems arise, and you're working with someone who doesn't hold the railroad contracts they're selling you.
LaserNet Jax is a direct IMC in the United States with direct contracts with CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, CN Rail, and CP Rail — plus access to BNSF-served lanes through established carrier relationships — plus access to BNSF-served lanes through established carrier relationships. That means railroad-direct pricing, contracted capacity that holds when the spot market tightens, and a direct line to the railroad when you need a problem solved.
Jacksonville is one of the most strategically positioned intermodal markets in the Southeast. CSX and Norfolk Southern both have major ramp operations serving Jacksonville and the broader Florida market. Our proximity to the Southeast's largest intermodal origins — Jacksonville, Savannah, Atlanta, Charlotte — means we've spent over 25 years building the drayage relationships and ramp-level knowledge that matter for your freight.
We quote any qualifying lane within minutes. We answer our phone. You work with one dedicated contact — the same person every load, who knows your freight, your policies, and your lanes. Every customer gets the same priority and the same response regardless of volume. When capacity tightens and larger IMCs are protecting their biggest accounts, we're still finding options for every customer on our roster.
Your shipments are tracked and reported daily — proactively, before you have to ask. If something goes wrong, we're already working on it.
That's not a marketing claim. It's how we've kept customers for 18 years.
