Drayage Services
Drayage is an important part of intermodal shipping — and Heavy Weight Transport has played a critical role in the industry for thousands of clients for over 40 years. With the belief that every commodity deserves a trusted partner for cost-effective, reliable shipping, Heavy Weight’s drayage operations include comprehensive inbound heavy container management services, pier drayage, boxcar and truck transloading services, and rail trailers.
As an asset-based and bonded carrier trucking company that moves bonded cargo in all 48 of the continental U.S., Heavy Weight constantly updates our fleet to ensure your freight is delivered safely and legally. With a broad geographical reach, our fleet incorporates modern tracking and logistics technology for real-time monitoring of shipments to ensure we focus on your shipping needs.
Why Use Heavy Weight Transport
The standard weight for a container is up to 38,000 pounds for a 20-foot container or 44,000 pounds for a 40-foot container. Anything above and beyond that is considered overweight.
At Heavy Weight, we can maximize your shipping needs by hauling up to 59,525 pounds of cargo weight — anything you can put in the container, we can move.
How is Heavy Weight Able to Move Such Heavy Loads?
We can maximize load weight based on our lightweight, custom-built tri-axle chassis along with our eco-friendly day cabs, allowing our team to specialize in a wide variety of commodities, including tile and granite, machinery, and metals.
