Drayage and 53' dry van freight out of Southern California.
Equipment — Late-Model Tractors and 53' Dry Van Trailers
Late-model tractors and 53-foot trailers, owned by the people who run them and maintained on a schedule. You will never see the equipment. You will feel it every time a delivery lands when it was supposed to.
What we run
Late-model sleeper and day cab tractors specified for port work — the maneuverability and visibility terminal yards demand, with the range to run interstate dry van when the freight calls for it.
Fifty-three foot dry van trailers, swing door and air ride, with load securement carried on the truck so nobody is borrowing straps at your dock.
Chassis for container work through pool membership, and tri-axle configurations where an overweight box out of the harbor requires them.
Why the equipment matters to you
Equipment is not vanity, and it is not really about the truck at all. A breakdown on a port appointment does not cost a repair bill. It costs the appointment, the per diem, the demurrage and a customer's confidence, and no discount on a rate has ever covered that.
Our units are late-model because they are bought new by their owners and maintained on a schedule rather than on symptoms. That is a deliberate decision about reliability, and it is the part of this business a shipper feels without ever seeing.
There is a second effect worth stating plainly. The people who own these trucks are individuals rather than a leasing company, and their asset is on the road with your freight on it. That alignment is difficult to manufacture, and it shows in how the equipment is treated.
Equipment ownership
Some units in this fleet are owned by individuals who placed them under our management. That arrangement is explained in full, including what we do not promise.
