Containers from the port

We pull import containers at the Port of Wilmington every day, and we also serve Philadelphia (Packer Avenue) and Gloucester City, NJ, with NY/NJ on request. 20 and 40 foot containers, reefer and dry. Our drivers are TWIC-credentialed, same-day pickups are routine, and we return the empty on every load. Live unload or drop and hook. Export loads back to the port are available too.

Reefer and produce

Temperature you can prove

Most of what we move is temperature-controlled: bananas, plantains, pineapples, melons and other fresh produce, in reefer containers and 53-foot reefer trailers. We confirm the set point at pickup, keep temperature photos on the load, and put the seal number on the BOL. If a receiver ever questions the load, you have the record.

Stop the demurrage clock

Our yard at 56 J Caldwell Ln in New Castle, Delaware is 0.9 miles from the Port of Wilmington gate, about 3 minutes, and holds 60+ containers. When your receiver can't take a box before last free day, we pull it, park it, and deliver when they're ready. That stops the demurrage clock. Short-term storage is available.
