Port Houston Drayage
Containers off the terminal and onto your dock. We hold the credentials that port work actually requires — TWIC, UIIA interchange, and chassis access — so a booking becomes a move instead of a referral.
TWIC credentialed
Drivers cleared for secured terminal access.
UIIA interchange
Set up to interchange equipment with steamship lines.
Chassis access
No waiting on a chassis to free up before your box moves.
Minutes from the gate
Based in the Bay Area, not dispatching from out of state.
Terminals we pull from
Port Houston is our home port. We work Barbours Cut and Bayport, the two container terminals that handle the region's box traffic, and we are close enough to the gate that a same-day turn is a normal request rather than an exception.
Import pulls, export drops, empty returns and street turns are all standard work. Tell us the container number and the last free day and we will tell you what is realistic before you book, not after.
Why importers move off a broker
Most drayage quotes come from a desk that does not own a truck. Yours arrives from the company that will actually pull the container, which means the person quoting you knows what the terminal queue looks like this week.
That matters most when something goes wrong — a rolled vessel, a hold, a chassis shortage. There is no second phone call to a carrier you have never met.
Demurrage and per diem
The cost of drayage is rarely the drayage. It is the demurrage that accrues while a box sits on the terminal and the per diem that runs while equipment sits at your dock.
We track last free day on every container we are given and we tell you when a pull is at risk. Live tracking on the move means you are not calling for a status update to find out where your freight is.
Common Questions
- Which ports do you serve?
- Port Houston, including the Barbours Cut and Bayport container terminals. Ask us about Galveston and Freeport — we will tell you honestly whether we are the right carrier for that lane.
- Do you provide the chassis?
- Yes. We have chassis access, so your container is not waiting on equipment to free up before it can move.
- Can you handle same-day container pulls?
- Often, depending on terminal queue and appointment availability. We are based in the Bay Area minutes from the gate, so same-day is a normal request. Call and we will tell you what is realistic today.
