T.M. Doyle Teaming

What T.M. Doyle Teaming does

T.M. Doyle Teaming, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned intermodal trucking and drayage company founded in 1967 as a founding member of the Chicago Intermodal Community. The company provides container and trailer movement between rail yards, ocean container terminals, and shipper/consignee facilities across nine Midwestern states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Wisconsin), and operates under 48-state Interstate Operating Authority (I.C.C. 148708). Its core service is intermodal drayage and piggyback shipping executed through interchange agreements with all U.S. Class I railroads (BNSF, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, CSX, CN, CP/SOO, Iowa Interstate, Wisconsin Central) and ocean carriers under SCAC code DYLE. Named customers include 3M Manufacturing, APL Logistics, Union Pacific, and American President Lines; APL named T.M. Doyle Carrier-of-the-Year based on 4,400 on-time deliveries.

The company's underlying technology stack is operational rather than platform-based: computerized dispatch combined with radio and satellite tracking of shipments and loads provides real-time supply-chain visibility, while dedicated terminal facilities in Chicago (4250 West 40th Street) and Rochelle, IL anchor dispatch and recovery operations. A dedicated fleet of 80 Class-8 (80,000 lb) tractor trailers is licensed to operate in 37 states and carries $250,000 per-trailer cargo insurance underwritten by The Hartford. T.M. Doyle holds DOT Hazardous Material certification (Reg.#060806 550 0710Q) and a Satisfactory DOT Safety Rating (re-certified August 2008). Supporting capabilities include recovery and expedited services to Eastern Seaports and HAZMAT-compliant transport.

T.M. Doyle's business model is dual-revenue: (1) transaction-based per-move drayage with publicly disclosed zone-based rates for the Chicago intermodal region ($50 within-zone, $55–$300 inter-zone across seven zones), enabling shipper self-quoting; and (2) quote-based dedicated shipping services and one-time door-to-door shipments priced via an online order form. Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven: inside sales via a toll-free number (800-404-2445), dedicated email channels (sales@, dispatch@), a public rate sheet, and visibility through six regional industry associations (Midwest Truckers Association, Intermodal Association of Chicago, Traffic Club of Chicago, Midwest Foreign Commerce, Illinois Trucking Association, IANA). No public APIs, software products, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed; the company is a single-service trucking operator, not a modular technology platform.

Core offering

T.M. Doyle Teaming provides intermodal drayage and trucking services, hauling containers and piggyback trailers between rail yards, ocean container terminals, and shipper/consignee facilities across nine Midwestern states. The company operates a dedicated fleet of 80 Class-8 (80,000 lb) tractor trailers under SCAC code DYLE with interchange agreements across all U.S. Class I railroads and ocean carriers, and also offers recovery, expedited, dedicated, one-time door-to-door, and HAZMAT-certified freight transport.

Product overview

T.M. Doyle Teaming, Inc. is a single-service intermodal trucking and drayage company — not a modular software platform — whose offering centers on Intermodal Drayage & Piggyback Shipping executed by its Dedicated Class-8 Tractor Trailer Fleet (80 vehicles, licensed in 37 states, operating across nine Midwestern states). Supporting capabilities wrap around that core service: Recovery & Expedited Services to Eastern Seaports (terminal facilities in Chicago and Rochelle, IL, with interchange agreements with all U.S. railroad and ocean carriers under SCAC code DYLE), Computerized Dispatch with Radio & Satellite Tracking for shipment visibility, and a HAZMAT Transportation Service line backed by DOT certification (Reg.#060806 550 0710Q). All offerings are delivered through one integrated trucking operation rather than a product-plus-modules architecture.
