Work with a 3PL to Coordinate West Coast Transloading and US Ports
Looking for transloading services near Los Angeles? Hiring a 3PL may be your best bet.
Transloading options are growing scarce in Southern California – America’s gateway for the bulk of its import freight. Importers are struggling to find transload facilities near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach as as a result of historic throughput and a growing vessel backlog.
With available transloading facilities becoming harder to find, many importers are hiring 3PLs to track down service options.
Transloading Advantages
At its core, transload services all about flexibility.
Other shipping methods may offer simplicity but sacrifice control and versatility. Choosing intermodal, for example, means keeping your shipment in an unchanged state until it reaches its final warehouse. Consequently, there’s no opportunity to open the container to reorganize, repackage, or sum up inventory.
Transloading offers a higher degree of control over the contents and activities of each inbound container. Once your container reaches the transload facility, there are numerous options for continuing the transit process.
- Palletize shipment for easier sorting and storage upon warehouse arrival.
- Move shipment out of ocean container onto box truck, and other transportation modes.
- Consolidate shipments into larger trailers for cost savings.
- Split up shipments for transit to different destinations.
