Port Services

At every major domestic port, the Axle team continues to build strong port drayage relationships. Leveraging volume, we provide the elite-level Axle customer service while executing competitive pricing for intermodal moves.

We can assist with your drayage needs across multiple classifications:

Expedited drayage:Quick transportation of freight containers to a location within 500 miles or less of the port

Inter-carrier drayage:This incorporates the intermodal service that Axle provides, and refers to the movement of a container between various carriers and/or modes

Pier drayage:When you need to move a shipping container from rail terminal to an ocean shipping port

Shuttle drayage:Shuttle drayage involves moving an intermodal unit to a temporary stopping point. It’s often used when port congestion is high and delays may be at consequence.

Door-to-door: This type of drayage is usually meant for short trips. If your company is located on the coast, Axle can carry the container from the port to your dock door

Nationwide Network

In an area where most transportation networks experience gaps, Axle’s drayage network builds a bridge connecting customers, freight forwarders, and carriers together to provide streamlined communication across all major ports throughout the US.
