The David J. Joseph Company (DJJ) services

Since transportation can represent 15 – 20% of the final cost of scrap, getting the best price is key. For 130 years, we’ve negotiated freight rates by reviewing every competitive option, then aggregating the total volume of our customer base.  We know all the best ways to save.  Like coordinating inbound scrap freight with outbound shipments of finished products. Or finding savings in backhaul or round-trip rates.  Keeping us on top of the world is our advanced, web-based transportation network that shows over 80,000 current rates for rail, trucks and barges.

At DJJ, we offer a comprehensive railcar dismantling service. It’s simple. We buy your railcar. When the car is no longer usable, we proceed with the dismantling.  Eventually the unusable parts are scrapped and the usable parts are sold. With over 9 decades in the railcar business, we understand the importance of long-term relationships.
