Material Supply & Distribution
Railway materials moved with float trucks, material trailers and boom trucks.
CUNA supplies and distributes railway materials using float trucks, material trailers and boom trucks.
The point is to get rail, ties and site materials to the work — not to operate as a general freight hauler.
Scope
- Material supply and distribution
- Float trucks
- Material trailers
- Boom trucks in support of material moves
How we work
Specify
What has to move, where it sits now, and when the crew needs it on the rail.
Haul
A-Z licensed operators, floats and trailers.
Place
Boom trucks and site handling so the material is where the work is.
Qualifications
- A-Z licensed operators
Material moves and boom/float work on public roads require licensed operators, not just people who can run a machine on track.
- eRailSafe
Without a current eRailSafe credential, crews cannot access many CN and other host-railway sites.
- ISN
Procurement teams use ISNetworld scores to decide who is allowed on site.
Equipment used
Move machines and heavy railway materials between yards and job sites.
Carry rail, ties, ballast products and site materials to and from the work.
Lift and place rail, ties, materials and components on the job.

Questions
Do you sell rail and ties, or only haul them?
CUNA lists material supply and distribution. Confirm product supply versus haul-only with CUNA for a given job.
