01What we move
Freight, four ways
Port, rail, yard, and highway — the full container lifecycle handled by one carrier, one dispatcher, one invoice.
02How it works
Quote to POD in four moves
Step 01
Quote & book
Send container numbers, commodity, and destination. You get a firm quote and a booking — no public rate sheets, no games.
Step 02
Pickup at port or ramp
TWIC-certified drivers with unrestricted Port of Oakland access pull your box on appointment, with pre-pull when timing is tight.
Step 03
Tracked transit
Every tractor is GPS-monitored and ELD-equipped. Dispatch watches the load, and you can reach a human at any hour.
Step 04
Delivery & POD
On-time delivery, signed proof, clean paperwork, and a straight answer from accounting. Then we do it again tomorrow.
03Specialized freight
The loads other carriers wave off
Bonded, placarded, overweight, or temperature-critical — handled with the paperwork, permits, and equipment to match.
04Coverage
One base. Every ramp that matters.
We run from Concord, California — where Highway 4 meets I-680 — putting every Oakland terminal and Northern California rail ramp inside a predictable turn. Local East Bay drayage, Central Valley doors, and OTR beyond.
