Guide to Container Freight Stations

Look for a container cargo terminal with a spotless record

World Trade Distribution, Inc. prides itself in its spotless security record. They provide you monitoring, camera surveillance, and an electrified perimeter fence. They also offer you 50 years in the CFS business, along with a web based tracking system that gives immediate notification of arrivals and departures.

Work with a container cargo port that offers a volume discount

CFS companies like Nippon Express work with you to extend you volume shipping discounts.

I recommend: Nippon Express will consolidate LCL outbound shipments into FCL at their ocean cargo division. This will provide you as the shipper a lower price by splitting the FCL cost between multiple shippers. They also specialize in moving imported materials expeditiously from the congested ocean container cargo port to help manufacturers and retailers shorten their lead time.

Consider companies that offer container freight services worldwide

Dependable Hawaiian Express offers you container freight stations throughout the US, and they have office locations in Australia and Asia.

I recommend: With a corporate office out of LA, Dependable Hawaiian Express has CFS locations all down the east coast, and also they offer you a large number of international locations in the Pacific.

Limit exposure of your freight containers

CFS locations like Nexus Distribution Corporation can you limit your time on the road by providing drayage services to the Chicago warehouse. This allows you to transport your goods on a private road that never sees public traffic or the affiliated safety concerns.

I recommend: Operations like Nexus Distribution Corporation are ideal for you if you have a heavy load and face government restrictions about freight weight limits on the road. Instead you can use Nexus's CFS with direct terminal access.
