Container Drayage Houston TX
PORT DRAYAGE THAT ELIMINATES DEMURRAGE
Houston importers and exporters rely on our drayage operation for fast, compliant container moves from every Port of Houston terminal. TWIC-certified drivers, company-owned equipment, and 24/7 dispatch mean your containers never sit idle.
WHAT IS CONTAINER DRAYAGE?
Drayage is the short-haul trucking of shipping containers between a port terminal, rail ramp, or distribution center. It's the critical first and last mile of every international shipment — and it's where most supply chain delays and demurrage fees originate.
In Houston, drayage means navigating the Port of Houston complex — one of the busiest in the U.S. — with the right equipment, the right credentials, and the right relationships at every terminal gate.
Our drayage operation is purpose-built for Houston's port environment. We run daily at all four major terminals, maintain a company-owned fleet of tractors and lightweight chassis, and keep TWIC-certified drivers on the road around the clock.
