Drayage
Port & rail drayage, handled in-house
The short move that makes or breaks a container's schedule. We pull from the terminal, beat the free-time clock, and connect your box to the next leg without a hand-off.
Drayage is the first and last mile of every ocean shipment — the truck move between the marine terminal or rail ramp and the warehouse, transload facility, or line-haul that comes next. Because LJM Logistics USA books the ocean leg and the inland trucking itself, your drayage isn't outsourced to a stranger: it's one coordinated move with a single point of accountability.
Beating the free-time clock
Once a container is discharged, the demurrage and per-diem clocks start running. We watch last-free-day and terminal appointment windows on every box and pull it before those charges begin — the difference between a clean move and a pile of accessorial fees.
Equipment ready, next leg connected
We source and match the right chassis to your container so the pull isn't stranded at the gate, and we connect the box to whatever comes next — live unload at your dock, a drop-and-pick, or a transload onto a domestic trailer for cost-efficient line haul inland from our Seattle hub and beyond.
Port & rail pulls
We pull your container from the marine terminal or rail ramp and stage the next leg — one team, one accountable move.
Free-time & demurrage watch
We track last-free-day and appointment windows so containers move before demurrage and per-diem charges start stacking up.
Chassis & equipment
Chassis sourced and matched to your box — standard, tri-axle, or specialized — so the pull isn't held up by equipment.
Transload & delivery
Live unload, drop-and-pick, or transload to a domestic trailer for the final mile inland.
