We pull containers from APM Terminals Elizabeth, Maher Terminals and Port Newark Container Terminal (PNCT) on Newark Bay, from Port Liberty Bayonne, and from Port Liberty New York on Staten Island and Red Hook Container Terminal in Brooklyn on the New York side of the harbor.

Our New Jersey Transloading Services
Platton, the import-focused US forwarder, builds every New Jersey transload around your receiver's specs, with sorting for several receivers, pallet rework and short-term storage when a load needs them.
Palletizing and Labeling to Your Receiver's Spec
Tell us the pallet height, weight limit and label layout your receiver demands, and our palletizing crew builds, labels and stretch-wraps each load to that spec before it goes on the trailer. Each pallet leaves the corridor labeled for the dock it is headed to, whether that is a retail DC in North Jersey or a store group in New England.
Rail and Truck Transloading
Long-haul freight is loaded into domestic containers for CSX or Norfolk Southern rail at their North Jersey ramps, a short run from our dock, and Turnpike trucks take the shorter Northeast runs.
Truck and Rail Delivery Across the Northeast
Trailers from our dock reach DCs in Carteret, Edison and Secaucus within a short drive of the port, and the New Jersey Turnpike carries the rest of your Northeast deliveries north and south. Platton sends full 53-foot trailers by FTL trucking and books LTL shipping when one container feeds several Northeast receivers in New York, Pennsylvania and New England. Amazon-bound pallets ride our Amazon FBA shipping to fulfillment center appointments in North Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and up the Hudson Valley.
Westbound rail loads reach the Ohio Valley and Midwest markets, Chicago included.
Container Return and Free Time at Port Newark
Your devan gets a dock slot on the first day the box can leave Elizabeth, Newark or Bayonne, so the empty goes back before free time runs out. Our guide to container detention and per diem covers the carrier's clock after the gate.
