Atmospheric Logistics

Point-to-point bulk material transport via directed atmospheric event. Coverage area is wherever we tell the tornado to go. Topography is not a factor. Neither is the previous concept of freight.

What We Do

For bulk materials in locations where conventional transport is cost-prohibitive — remote agricultural sites, inaccessible terrain, large-volume low-value cargo — McNadoes Atmospheric Logistics provides an alternative that leverages tornado energy already in motion.

The coverage area is, by definition, wherever the storm is going. Our scheduling team works backward from your destination. We determine which atmospheric conditions will produce a compliant trajectory, we schedule the deployment accordingly, and the material arrives.

We want to be clear that this service has a specific use case. It is not a replacement for precision freight. It is not appropriate for fragile cargo, documented valuables, or anything you would describe to us using the word "carefully." It is appropriate for bulk material that needs to move a significant distance across difficult terrain on a schedule that is driven by atmospheric conditions rather than driver availability.

Clients who understand this distinction have found Atmospheric Logistics to be one of our more cost-effective services. Clients who did not fully understand this distinction have had informative experiences.

Appropriate Cargo

  • Agricultural bulk materials (grain, aggregate, fill)
  • Construction materials (gravel, sand, loose aggregate)
  • Cleared field waste (crop residue, brush, stubble)
  • Post-harvest material requiring relocation
  • Site material requiring disposal or repositioning

Not Appropriate Cargo

  • Livestock of any kind
  • Documented property of any kind
  • Anything described to us as irreplaceable
  • Hazardous materials (see our use policy for the full explanation)
  • Items with a known destination street address
