Hauling and Transportation Services
Even the railroads and other transportation businesses need help transporting things at time. Industry and government agencies do as well. At times, a company's internal resources are busy with other tasks or not available to haul an item, or circumstances may make it more cost-effective to outsource a transport project. Whatever the reason, railroads and industry frequently need a reliable, qualified contractor to perform a transportion project.
Hulcher Services offers a full range of transportation services to our clients. Some of those tasks include:
- Transport equipment, wheels and vehicles
- Move office furniture and supplies
- Haul water bottles for rail crews
- Haul concrete to support railroad workers
- Move track panel to an engineering or disaster response project
- Relocate heavy equipment
- Remove dead animals from track and haul to landfill
Transportation projects can be as simple as hauling water bottles to rail crews working in remote locations, or as complex as moving a massive, 170-ton industrial dredge to new location.
Transportation projects sometimes occur as independent taskings but usually occur within the context of other projects. For example,
We are frequently asked to deliver a traction motor to the locomotive as part of a remote traction motor change project. - On a larger scale, our sidebooms and track loaders have been used to carry barges back to the water after they were washed on land during a hurricane, as part of a hurricane response project.

- Following derailments, we often haul damaged rail cars off for disposal and transport salvaged freight to other locations for the railroad.*
- Our Locomotive Service Truck transports critical water, oils and fluids and sand to engines requiring servicing.
- Hulcher can deliver track panel to track panel installation projects.
- We usually transport product collected during load reduction jobs for disposal or to another vehicle.*
- Virtually every demolition, switch / retarder / diamond installation, disaster response or environmental remediation project involves hauling old materials for proper disposal.*
Hulcher's crews have been background checked, trained and certified to work for all Class I Railroads so they are safe and qualified to transport items to/from rail yards and along the right-of-way. Being a railroad contractor, Hulcher is approved for operations within 25 feet of the track as well. Hulcher brings a level of experience, railroad professionalism and the right qualifications to transportation projects that no other contractor’s personnel can match. Maintenance services may require the use of heavy equipment and Hulcher maintains a nationwide fleet of excavators, dozers, dump trucks, track and wheel loaders, and more to meet these needs.
Since 1963 railroads, government and industry have placed their confidence in Hulcher for a wide range of services. With 35 locations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, Hulcher has hundreds of qualified workers and all the right equipment close by to perform your transportation projec.t as an independent service or within the context of larger projects in other service lines.

Case Study - Hulcher Provides Disaster Response to Simultaneous Major Flood Events Record snowfalls and spring rains resulted in major flooding throughout North Dakota. Much of the state was declared a disaster area. At the same time, a separate flood event devastated several midwest states. Railroads, local governments and industry needed a contractor with extensive, national resources, including trained crews and a fleet of heavy equipment, to respond to both flood events. |
