Partnership shows up in the daily details.
The Class I railroads bring your cars to the gate. Everything past the gate—every car placed, every switch made, every foot of track kept safe—is where your operation either runs or stalls. That is the work The Prairie Line owns, and our company was built around doing it well.
We started in 2017, back when new hires signed their paperwork on the hood of Aaron's truck. The belief then is the same one now: rail service is only as good as the people who run it. So we hire for humility, work ethic, and attitude, pay above the going rate for switching crews, and invest in real training and leadership development.
The result is a team that stays, and customers who feel the difference. Today The Prairie Line is privately held, debt-free, and growing, with FRA-certified crews and Class I veteran leadership across an eight-state footprint.
We integrate at every level of your operation, meet your shift supervisors twice a day, and reach every loadout at the start of each shift to plan it together. We set clear KPIs from day one and measure ourselves against them to keep the highest standard long after the contract is signed.
