Service · /services/transloading/
Transfer freight between modes (ocean container to over-the-road truck, intermodal to LTL, full to less-than-full) without losing chain of custody or the carrier dispatch window.
What transloading covers
Ocean container devanned, freight re-loaded to over-the-road dry van or reefer. Same-shift turn keeps demurrage at zero.
Intermodal load broken into LTL skids. Each skid labeled, BOL'd, and dispatched to the destination carrier.
Full TL inbound re-split into multiple regional outbounds. Reduced linehaul cost without losing the inbound discount.
How a transload runs
Inbound ETA + outbound carrier dispatch scheduled. Labels and BOLs prepped 48 hours ahead so the dock turn is clean.
Inbound seal photographed and broken. Freight offloaded, counted, and reconciled against the packing list at the dock.
Freight re-palletized, re-labeled, re-marked for outbound mode. Damaged freight segregated and documented.
Outbound trailer loaded, BOL signed, seal applied, carrier dispatched. POD captured at delivery and pushed back.
the volume that FedEx wanted to compete for and win with their base rates, they're not seeing the business because you've tacked on a 15% margin. That elephant needs to be discussed in the room and it has to be overcome.
