Drayage and 53' dry van freight out of Southern California.
Port of Long Beach Drayage — Container Trucking to Warehouse, Rail, and Inland Empire
Terminal pulls and empty returns at Long Beach, with delivery across the harbor cities, the Los Angeles basin and out to the Inland Empire — and someone watching the appointment system so you do not have to.
Long Beach drayage
The Port of Long Beach moves millions of TEU a year, and every one of those boxes leaves on a chassis behind somebody's truck. Ours bring import containers off the terminal to warehouses, distribution centers, transload facilities and rail ramps across the basin, and return the empty before per diem starts working against you.
Export runs the same discipline in reverse — loaded box at the terminal inside the receiving window, booking verified, cutoff tracked. We have been working these gates for years, and that familiarity is worth most on the weeks when the terminals are not behaving normally.
The Long Beach details that decide your costs
Appointments are the constraint at Long Beach, not the driving. A container sitting ninety minutes from your dock can still take three days to arrive if nobody is working the appointment system properly. This is where the money is won or lost.
The Clean Truck Fund Rate applies to loaded import and export containers hauled by conventional drayage trucks across the San Pedro Bay ports. It is a genuine per-container cost and it belongs in your landed cost from the beginning, not as a surprise on an invoice.
Free time and last free day drive demurrage. We track the last free day per container rather than per shipment, because that is the level at which the charge is actually assessed — and it is the difference between a clean month and an ugly one.

Send us the terminal and your weekly volume and we will tell you plainly what we can do with it — including if the honest answer is that someone else is a better fit.
