Competitive port-to-door service, anywhere in the country.
Port drayage is the transportation of containers off the piers at the port of delivery, over a relatively short distance to their next destination. Carroll runs that first mile with our own drivers, our own chassis, and heavy-weight capability other drayage carriers turn away.
Any size, shape or weight. Our drayage processes handle it with ease.
- Heavy weights: configurations built for over-weight containers
- Company-owned chassis, no third-party dependency
- Company drivers, no owner-operator variability
- TWIC-credentialed drivers on every port move
