Container moves through every major U.S. port, paired with intermodal rail-to-truck handoffs and customs coordination — without the gaps in visibility that derail international freight.
Drayage is the short-haul leg of an international shipment — from port or rail terminal to a warehouse, transload yard, or final consignee. It is also where most international freight gets stuck: chassis shortages, demurrage clocks, customs holds, and rail dwell.
MCM runs drayage as a managed service, not a one-off transaction. Our team coordinates the carrier, the chassis, the customs broker, and the consignee on a single timeline — with real-time visibility from vessel discharge to bobtail return.
Whether you are pulling a single 40' reefer off the Port of Long Beach, or staging dozens of dry containers through Houston for inland rail, we manage the move end-to-end so your inventory keeps flowing.
Drayage looks simple on a rate sheet. The work is in everything that happens around the move.
20', 40', 45' dry, reefer, and high-cube containers — chassis sourced and pre-trip inspected before arrival.
Appointment systems, gate hours, terminal-specific quirks. We work every major U.S. port and know the local rules.
Coordinated handoff with your CHB so the container clears before the demurrage clock starts.
Rail-to-truck and truck-to-rail handoffs across Class I networks — for inland moves where rail makes sense.
Container-to-trailer transload at our network of yards so you can run domestic 53s beyond the port.
Active management of free time, last-free-day, and bobtail returns — not invoices we surprise you with.
Integrated international capacity. Mexico and Canada cross-border freight is more than a truck and a BOL — it is a coordinated handoff between origin carrier, customs broker, and destination carrier. We build that handoff into the lane plan from day one.
One ticket, one point of contact. Your shipment doesn't get re-quoted three times as it crosses jurisdictions. The MCM rep who took the order owns it through delivery.
Real-time visibility. Container-level tracking with port milestones, rail milestones, and final-mile updates pushed to you and to your customers.
A real dispatcher reviews every quote — 24/7/365. We look forward to earning your business.
