Drayage by Port

This is Platton drayage by port, and our trucks pull containers at 42 US ports and rail ramps. Each port below has its own page with the terminals, the delivery area and the rates for that gateway. For how Platton drayage works at every port, see our drayage services.

Drayage Pages by Port

Los Angeles and Long Beach drayage

We pick up at every major terminal in San Pedro Bay, from Pier 400 and Fenix Marine Services on the Los Angeles side to LBCT at Middle Harbor and TTI at Pier T in Long Beach. We work with the chassis pools at the ports, put the Clean Truck Fund Rate in the quote and deliver across the Inland Empire or to the rail ramp for the run east.

New Jersey drayage

We pick up at Port Newark, Elizabeth, Bayonne, Staten Island and Red Hook, and name the chassis source before your container is released. Deliveries reach docks across New Jersey, the New York City boroughs, Pennsylvania and New England, and ExpressRail takes inland boxes from the dock onto CSX and Norfolk Southern.

Savannah drayage

Garden City Terminal is one of the tightest gate operations in the country and one of the most rewarding when you run it properly. We pre-advise through WebAccess and work Gate 4 from 4am, which is how containers get out ahead of the daily queue instead of inside it.

Houston drayage

We pick up at Bayport and Barbours Cut with an Express Pass appointment for every pickup, and run properly permitted overweight loads on the corridor at 93,000 and 100,000 lb instead of stripping cargo at the terminal.

Oakland drayage

We pick up at all four Port of Oakland terminals (TraPac, OICT, Ben E. Nutter and Matson) and deliver along I-880 in the East Bay, into Silicon Valley and over I-580 to the Central Valley. We also handle reefers, overweight boxes, flat racks and hazmat, and send inland freight east by rail on BNSF or Union Pacific.

Seattle and Tacoma drayage

The import team in our Seattle office at Columbia Center dispatches from all five Northwest Seaport Alliance international container terminals in Seattle and Tacoma. Containers go to the Kent Valley, Fife, DuPont and Portland, or east by rail on BNSF and Union Pacific.

Chicago drayage

We work seven rail ramps in the Chicago metro, a crosstown market where a wrong ramp assignment costs you a day. We cover Elwood, Joliet, Northlake, Bedford Park, Landers, Harvey and Bensenville, including crosstown moves between ramps for shippers whose box lands on the wrong side of the city.
