Transloading

Lets brands return the container quickly and split one import across several US warehouses.

Why would a brand transload ocean containers near the port?

Transloading moves goods from international containers into 53-foot domestic trailers, which hold more cargo, so you need fewer trucks inland. It also returns the ocean container sooner, which can reduce detention, and lets you split freight between destinations.

• Cross-DockingUnloading inbound freight and loading it directly onto outbound trucks with little or no storage time in between.
• DrayageShort-distance trucking of ocean containers between a port or rail ramp and a nearby warehouse.
• Full TruckloadA shipment that uses an entire trailer, usually a 53-foot dry van in the US, moving directly from origin to destination.
