Transload Services
At ALL CITY, our transloading services are designed to keep your supply chain moving. Whether you’re transferring freight from ocean container to truck, rail to truck, or any combination in between, we provide seamless transitions that save time and reduce costs.
What Is Transloading?
Transloading is the process of transferring freight from one mode of transport to another—most commonly from an ocean container or railcar to a domestic truck (or vice versa)—to accelerate delivery, optimize load configuration, or meet route and equipment requirements.
At a transload facility, cargo is unloaded, sorted or consolidated, and re-loaded onto the next leg’s equipment, reducing port dwell time and enabling seamless door-to-door movement across multiple transport modes.
When to Use Transloading
Use transloading when:
You need faster delivery after port or rail arrival
The final destination isn’t container-accessible
You’re consolidating or deconsolidating cargo
You want to optimize your freight for LTL or FTL delivery

/Quick Answers About Transloading
Frequently Asked Questions
01. What types of cargo can you transload?
We handle palletized goods, floor-loaded containers, cartons, oversized or project freight, temperature-controlled boxes with gensets, and specialty items that need extra care or blocking and bracing.
02. Can you manage overweight or bonded containers?
Yes. Our tri-axle chassis fleet is permitted for overweight loads, and our Jersey City facility is a U.S. Customs–bonded warehouse, so we can move in-bond freight without clearing duties upfront.
03. How fast is your transload turnaround?
Most containers are stripped, re-palletized, and outbound within 24 hours—often same-day if appointments are set by 11 AM. Time-critical projects can be expedited with pre-staged trailers.
04. Do you offer inventory tracking?
Absolutely. Every pallet receives a barcode, and our WMS syncs with your EDI/API feed for real-time inventory status, lot numbers, and outbound confirmation.
05. Do you support cross-docking operations?
Yes. We can cross-dock inbound freight directly onto outbound LTL or FTL trailers, eliminating storage fees and keeping your supply chain moving.
06. Can I combine transloading with final-mile delivery?
Definitely. After transload, we can route freight through our drayage, LTL, or dedicated-truck network to reach your DC or retail locations—one provider, one invoice, zero hand-offs.
