Port congestion and container dwell charges can quickly erode product margins. Transloading freight directly from ocean containers into domestic trailers or warehouse storage keeps port fees off your invoice and speeds distribution.
Transloading turns container arrivals from a costly bottleneck into a fast, fluid distribution pipeline.
How transloading saves time and money
When ocean containers arrive at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, keeping them at the port or on chassis incurs demurrage and detention charges. Transloading moves freight off port containers into local California facilities immediately upon arrival.
- Eliminate Port Demurrage: Unload ocean containers fast so empties return to steamship lines before fee deadlines.
- Consolidate Domestic Freight: Combine floor-loaded imports into palletized shipments formatted for retail or B2B delivery.
- Statewide & National Distribution: Stage inventory near major California transport corridors for rapid outbound delivery.
