Transloading
Primary Logistics has the necessary transloading services & infrastructure to handle all types of containerized, intermodal, and FTL cargo safely and efficiently. Our expertise and extensive alliance network allows us to offer competitive rates and highly dependable service.
We receive ocean freight containers at the local port terminals and transport them to our warehouse facility, where they are off-loaded and prepared for the next leg of their journey. Shipments are inventoried or immediately processed and fulfilled for delivery via Less Than Truckload (LTL), Full Truckload (FTL), or intermodal transportation, per your or the end-customer’s specific instructions.
FTL and intermodal container shipments are received and processed in the same way, enabling us to transload cargo for export, local distribution, and last-mile delivery quickly and cost-effectively. Your products are offloaded, staged for domestic on-forwarding, then transloaded onto 53’ over-the-road trailers destined for distribution centers across the country.
The condition of your shipping & freight containers and/or goods is inspected and photographed at multiple stages throughout the process to document and ensure full visibility into each transaction.
