Drayage & Port Logistics
Drayage and port logistics at the Ports of LA and Long Beach
Drayage is the short-haul trucking of ocean containers between a port or rail yard and a nearby warehouse. Custom Goods Logistics runs asset-based drayage and port logistics at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach - 50,000+ moves a year with our own 84 Class 8 low-emission trucks and 600+ GPS-tracked chassis, plus overweight-corridor access, transload, and customs support. Because we own the fleet and the port-adjacent warehouses, one partner moves your freight from the terminal to the shelf - no broker handoffs.
