What Guides Us

HIGH STAKES. HIGH STANDARDS.

There are no higher stakes than the health and safety of our team members and communities. That’s why safety is a company value that is reflected throughout our culture and in our high standards of practice.

OmniTRAX-managed railroads are nationally recognized for our safety records by the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association. We consistently win “Jake Certificates with Distinction,” an award for member railroads with no Federal Railroad Association-reportable injuries during the previous year and recognition that we consider a testament to our vigilance, responsibility, and integrity.

Customer Safety Handbook

Sustainability

When it comes to your business, your primary concern is probably making money. Saving money and time are at the top of the list too. Being “green?” It’s a nice bonus.

Being green just comes naturally to us. Here are some statistics from the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association regarding the green benefits of transport by rail:

  • One rail freight car can carry the equivalent of four truck loads
  • Railroads consume almost one-third less fuel than trucks per ton-mile moved
  • One rail car can carry a ton of cargo 480 miles on one gallon of fuel
  • Railroads are working to reduce emissions of particulate matter by 90% and nitrogen oxide by 80%
  • One train can remove more than 400 trucks from the highway.
  • If just 10% of the freight currently moving by truck moved by rail, over 1 billion gallons of fuel would be saved and greenhouse gas emissions would drop by 12 million tons
  • Short line railroads take the equivalent of nearly 33 million truck loads off the highways, saving the country over $1.4 billion annually in highway repair costs.

Responsible Care

In the fall of 2019, OmniTRAX joined the American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® Partner Program, committing to the chemical manufacturing industry’s environmental, health, safety and security performance initiative. OmniTRAX joins North America’s seven Class 1 freight railroads as a partner to reconfirm the company’s commitment to continuous improvement in environment, health, safety, and security.

Many of the elements that comprise the Responsible Care Management System® are currently implemented at OmniTRAX. As part of its membership in Responsible Care, OmniTRAX will document and report performance metrics and records relevant to safety, health, environment and security.

The 3 Keys

— To Powering Your Business —

OmniTRAX is continually expanding our reach, allowing our customers to take advantage of our door-to-door shipping services.  We combine the superior fuel efficiency of rail with the ease of trucking and the global reach of overseas shipping through our international deep-water ports.

With the ability to track your freight using our online shipping portal, you’ll not only receive real-time email alerts updating you on the status of your shipments, you’ll also receive peace of mind, knowing that we’re handling all of the red tape and complicated logistics normally associated with the other rail providers.

When shipping as little as 500 miles, you can save money by using the most cost-effective shipping method around.  Because of the efficient use of fuel, rail is hands-down the least expensive way to get your freight from here to there.
