Conveyor & material handling freight, from the people next door.
J-MAP America is a licensed freight brokerage (MC #120343) headquartered in Jonesboro, Arkansas — the hometown of Hytrol Conveyor. Conveyor sections, drives, racking, mezzanines and full material-handling systems aren't unusual freight to us; they're the freight our local carriers haul every week, often starting a few miles from our office.
Why MH freight goes wrong — and how we keep it right
Most conveyor and racking shipments don't fail on the equipment; they fail on the freight. Steel shows up late and the install crew stands around. A flatbed no-shows at a job site with a two-hour delivery window. Sections arrive out of sequence and the integrator eats the delay. We built our service around exactly those failure points:
- Mixed-mode project moves. Flatbed for frames and sections, dry van for drives and controls, LTL for the punch-list parts — coordinated as one project, not five shipments.
- Job-site discipline. Delivery windows, liftgate/forklift coordination, residential and live-retail sites, and drivers briefed before they roll.
- Sequenced multi-truck installs. When sections need to land in order, we schedule trucks in order — and track every one of them.
- Ex-works Jonesboro expertise. If your equipment ships from the Jonesboro/Trumann conveyor belt, our carriers are already deadheading past the dock.
Who we work with
Systems integrators and Hytrol integration partners moving new installs; conveyor, racking and MH-component manufacturers shipping ex-works; dealers moving used and refurbished equipment; and plant managers relocating lines. Whether it's one drive unit on an LTL skid or a forty-truck distribution-center install, the lane gets priced the same way: instantly, online.
What it costs
Open-deck (flatbed/step deck) spot rates typically run $2.30–$3.40 per mile all-in nationally, with short hauls higher per-mile; van and LTL components price lower.
