Aggregate Markets and Standard Rail Corporation Announce Partnership to Power Rail-Enabled Aggregate Deliveries Across the U.S.
GravelbyRail™ to Handle End-to-End Rail Logistics for Bulk Material Orders Placed Through AggregateMarkets.com
CHICAGO, IL and SASKATOON, SK — March 31, 2025 — Aggregate Markets, a fast-growing digital platform for construction material procurement, has announced a strategic partnership with Standard Rail Corporation to integrate rail logistics into its delivery offering. Through Standard Rail’s GravelbyRail™ division, the platform can now offer customers reliable, high-volume delivery of select aggregates via rail—without the complexity typically associated with railroad coordination.
GravelbyRail™ will manage all aspects of the rail supply chain behind the scenes, including sourcing railcars, coordinating with transload facilities, managing loading and unloading operations, and connecting to last-mile trucking. Customers will continue to place orders and receive quotes directly through AggregateMarkets.com, with rail integrated as a seamless delivery option for qualifying projects.
“At Standard Rail, our role is to make rail logistics invisible to the end customer,” said Tyler Knock, Vice President of Aggregates at Standard Rail Corporation. “This partnership allows Aggregate Markets to scale into rail-enabled supply chains without adding operational burden for their team or their customers.”
The service is designed for projects requiring large volumes of premium or specialized materials—such as decorative stone, slag, and ballast—where rail is the most cost-effective and efficient long-distance solution. By incorporating rail into its offering, Aggregate Markets can now serve broader geographies and higher-volume projects while maintaining a simple, centralized customer experience.
“We’ve built Aggregate Markets around simplicity and transparency,” said Erik Mesikapp, Partner and Board Member at Aggregate Markets. “With GravelbyRail™ handling the logistics on the back end, we’re now able to offer a powerful new delivery channel—without adding any friction for our customers. It just works.”
Rail shipments are coordinated from origin to destination, with last-mile delivery completed by local carriers. The result is a scalable, dependable, and cost-conscious option for bulk material delivery, particularly for infrastructure, energy, and commercial development projects.
