Container Drayage
Annex 13 provides container drayage services built around the realities of port operations, terminal constraints, and downstream delivery timelines. We manage the movement of import and export containers between ports, rail ramps, warehouses, and final destinations with a focus on timing, coordination, and accountability at every handoff.
Drayage isn’t just a pickup and a drop. It’s appointments, terminal conditions, chassis availability, last free days, and knowing how a delay at the port affects everything that comes after. Our drayage planning accounts for these variables upfront so moves are executed with fewer surprises and cleaner outcomes.
We operate across major ports and rail ramps throughout the United States, coordinating container pickups, deliveries, and transfers based on real port conditions- not assumptions. Container status, gate activity, and clearance milestones are monitored closely to ensure freight moves when it should, not when it’s convenient.
Technology supports the work, but it doesn’t replace judgment. Our tracking and notification systems provide clear visibility into container movement, pickup, and delivery milestones so teams can stay informed without chasing updates. When conditions change, adjustments are made quickly to keep freight moving and costs contained.
Routes and schedules are planned around efficiency and practicality, balancing transit time, terminal congestion, and delivery requirements. The goal is consistency- reducing unnecessary dwell time, minimizing rehandling, and avoiding avoidable charges tied to delays or missed appointments.
Annex 13’s container drayage services are designed for freight that needs to move cleanly through the first mile. Whether containers are moving directly to delivery or into transload facilities, our focus remains the same: clear planning, tight execution, and ownership of the move from gate to destination.
