MyExpressFreight is a reliable drayage freight broker for ports and rail terminals across California, Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Container drayage from LA/Long Beach, Oakland, and Houston with chassis capacity, transload, and inland delivery from Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Las Vegas to anywhere your freight needs to go.
Drayage is the short-haul trucking that connects ocean and rail containers to their final destination. After your container is discharged at the port or arrives at a rail ramp, drayage moves it to your warehouse, distribution center, cross-dock, or transload facility.
MyExpressFreight has established drayage relationships at every major US port and intermodal terminal. We handle port pickup, chassis procurement, container delivery, empty returns, and transloading — managing the entire drayage workflow so you don't have to coordinate multiple vendors.
Whether you're importing via Los Angeles, exporting through Savannah, or running rail through Chicago, our drayage team knows the local port authorities, demurrage clocks, and appointment systems that determine whether your container moves fast or sits on the terminal.
Port and rail drayage has more moving parts than any other mode. We manage every one of them so your containers never sit idle.
We know the appointment systems, gate procedures, and terminal workflows at every major US port. That knowledge eliminates delays and keeps your containers moving.
Chassis shortages can strand containers at the port. We source chassis through pool agreements and dedicated chassis fleets — your container always has a chassis when it needs one.
We track free time windows from the moment your container is available and move aggressively to avoid port demurrage and carrier detention charges.
Empty container return is as important as pickup. We coordinate empty returns to the right depot or terminal before charges accumulate.
Move cargo from ocean containers into domestic trailers at port-adjacent facilities. Transloading eliminates inland container repositioning costs for cross-country distribution.
Move containers under customs bond from the port to a bonded CFS or warehouse for deferred examination or duty payment. Full in-bond documentation management.
We handle overweight containers (including tri-axle chassis), hazmat-placarded containers, and out-of-gauge cargo that standard drayage operators avoid.
Container and trailer on flatcar (TOFC/COFC) pickup and delivery at every major BNSF, UP, CSX, and NS intermodal terminal in the country.
Port or rail terminal notifies MEF that your container is available for pickup.
We book a pickup appointment within the terminal's system and confirm the chassis assignment.
Our driver picks up the container, inspects it for damage, and processes through the terminal gate.
Container delivered to your warehouse, DC, or transload facility within the agreed window.
After unloading, we return the empty container to the designated depot or terminal before free time expires.
Port drayage looks simple on paper — pick up a container and deliver it. In practice, it involves appointment systems, chassis pool availability, port gate hours, demurrage free time, customs holds, and empty depot assignments. A missed step at any point generates fees or delays.
MEF coordinates every step in the drayage sequence from a single point of contact. You share the container number and delivery address — we manage everything else: appointment booking, chassis sourcing, pickup, delivery, and empty return.
"LA/LB drayage is a nightmare if you don't have the right partner. MEF knows the terminals, has chassis access, and gets my containers out within 24 hours of availability. No demurrage in over a year of working with them."
"We bring in 30–40 containers per month through Savannah. MEF handles every pickup and delivery to our Georgia DC. Their coordination is seamless — I don't even think about drayage anymore."
"Our Houston port freight includes overweight containers with industrial machinery. Finding drayage carriers with tri-axle permits is always a headache. MEF has it handled before I ask."
"Transloading at Long Beach was the key to making our distribution network work. MEF set up the transload program, manages the chassis pool, and delivers to 5 DCs across the West. Perfect execution."
"Rail ramp drayage from Chicago is complicated by terminal appointment requirements and chassis availability. MEF manages both flawlessly. My BNSF containers move the same day they're available."
"In-bond drayage from NY/NJ to our bonded warehouse requires precise documentation. MEF has never had a customs hold due to documentation errors in two years of handling our in-bond moves."
Tell us your port, container details, and delivery address — we'll handle the rest.
