Question 1

Do you handle drayage or port drayage?

Accepted Answer

Yes — HTL provides drayage and port drayage services nationwide, moving containers from the port to your warehouse or distribution center. We coordinate directly with terminal operators and container yards to avoid demurrage and detention fees.

Question 2

What's the turnaround time for drayage or port moves?

Accepted Answer

Most port-to-warehouse drayage moves are completed within 24–48 hours of container availability, depending on port congestion and appointment scheduling. We track container status in real time so pickups happen as soon as the container is released.

Question 3

Who handles chassis, per diem, and demurrage on a container move?

Accepted Answer

HTL sources the chassis and manages terminal appointments, and we monitor free time on every container so moves happen before per diem or demurrage starts accruing. If a charge is unavoidable because of terminal congestion, you'll hear about it from us before it lands on an invoice.
