You know where your freight is
Check the truck's location whenever you like, without calling or waiting for someone to pick up.
About us
Logistics that keeps you posted before you ask.
Freight and logistics for manufacturing, retail and energy projects, based in Kansas City.
The problem with trucking is almost never the truck. It's not knowing what's going on.
Our approach
You shouldn't have to call to find out where your freight is.
Wayline started from a simple observation: in logistics, almost no complaint is really about the rate or the transit time. It's about not being kept in the loop. Shippers don't know where their freight is and find out about problems too late.
- Our own trucks and regular drivers on every lane.
- Freight, delivery and warehousing from a single provider.
- Predictable: the rate is set on real conditions, asked about up front.
Three sides of one operation
-
Freight
Long-haul with the right equipment and tracking for the whole trip.
-
Delivery
Local routes built around receiving windows, with proof of delivery at every stop.
-
Warehousing
Receiving, inventory control and shipping on demand, paying only for the space you use.
What we solve
It almost always starts with one of these.
We start from the problem in your operation, not from our list of services.
Pick a situation to see how we'd handle it.
I never know where my freight is.
We give you a login to see where the trucks are and set up automatic alerts for the milestones you care about.

We build routes around each stop's receiving window, which is what actually decides whether a delivery gets done.
View related serviceI have equipment I'm not sure can even be moved.
We survey the route before committing to a date: clearances, turning radii, road limits and the permits required.
View related serviceI only need warehouse space for peak season, not all year.
You pay for the space you use, with inventory tracked by lot and shipments whenever you need them.
View related serviceThe freight arrived different than it left, and I can't prove it.
We check and photograph the freight at loading against the bill of lading. That record settles the argument.
View related serviceMy products need to stay cold, and nobody can prove they did.
We log the temperature for the whole trip and deliver that log along with the proof of delivery.
View related serviceMy volume is too big to keep quoting load by load.
We set up a dedicated fleet with assigned trucks and a coordinator, on a monthly agreement with reserved capacity.

How we work
Five steps in every shipment.
The same order for a one-time load and a daily operation.
- 1
Shipment intake
Before we quote, we ask the questions that end up deciding everything: the real weight and dimensions, whether there's a dock or forklift at pickup and delivery, and what hours you can load and unload. Almost every surprise charge comes from skipping this.
- 2
Route plan
We assign the equipment the freight calls for, not whatever truck happens to be free, and plan the route around weight limits, delivery hours and road conditions.
- 3
Pickup
At loading, the count and condition are checked against the bill of lading and photographed. That record is what heads off an argument if something arrives differently than it left.
- 4
In transit
The truck is tracked for the whole trip, and you can check where it is at any time. If there's a delay, we tell you before you have to ask.
- 5
Delivery
Every delivery closes with a proof of delivery signed by the receiver, scanned and sent to you the same day. No waiting for the paper copy to make its way back to the office.
Why WAYLINE?
What your operation gets from working with us.
It's not just about the freight arriving. It's about you knowing where it is at every moment.
We tell you before you ask
If there's a delay on the road, you hear it from us. Finding out from your own customer is the worst way to learn.
The right equipment
We match the truck to the freight and the delivery site, not to whichever one is free that day.
Documented at loading
Count, condition and photos the moment it's loaded. That way there's no argument about how it left.
Same-day proof of delivery
The signed POD is scanned and sent on delivery day, not when the paperwork makes it back to the office.
No surprise charges
The rate is set using the real conditions at pickup and delivery, which we ask about before quoting.
24 Hours of tracking a day See where your truck is at any hour.
