Trucking companies in a port city perform drayage — the short-haul movement of containers between the port terminal and a nearby warehouse, CFS, or rail ramp. Many also offer regional LTL (Less than Truckload) and FTL (Full Truckload) distribution, cross-docking, and transloading — converting 40ft ocean containers to 53ft domestic trailers. For port drayage, carriers must be licensed by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) and hold a valid USDOT number.
Typical cost: Port drayage within a metro area typically runs $350–$900 per container move, depending on distance and congestion surcharges. Chassis rental adds $20–$30/day. Transloading from a 40ft ocean container to a 53ft domestic trailer runs $250–$600 plus labour.
Drayage is the truck movement of your container from the port terminal to your first destination (warehouse, CFS, or rail ramp). It is the final step in ocean freight and often the most time-sensitive — delays in arranging drayage result in port storage fees (demurrage) that can reach $100–$250 per container per day after the free-time period expires.
Most major US ports maintain a list of registered dray carriers through their port authority website. The CalculateCBM logistics directory lists trucking companies by city — many have drayage experience at local terminals. Always confirm the carrier holds an active FMCSA operating authority and their drivers carry valid TWIC cards before booking.

A freight forwarder acts as an agent arranging cargo transportation on behalf of shippers using carrier space they don't own. An NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) issues its own bills of lading and contracts directly with ocean carriers, then sells space to shippers.
