The DST management team has expertise in all aspects of transloading.
From an operational standpoint, the DST team has a near perfect operational record, recording only 24 hours of downtime since November 2013, and zero lost-time injuries and zero fatalities. The DST team is always acutely aware of costs, and as such has had positive earnings every quarter since its inception.
The DST management team acted as their own general contractor in the buildout of two transloading facilities, both of which were built ahead of schedule and under budget. Through the design, construction and buildout of these facilities, the DST team has developed expertise in location development, permitting and community relations. DST oversaw the process from initial idea to implementation of two facility build outs.
DST’s personnel are transloading experts through the whole lifecycle of the asset, and expert operators.
