Transloading across the Los Angeles & Inland Empire metro

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach feed the Inland Empire, the densest warehouse market in the country. Coverage includes transload and cross-dock partners near the ports in Carson and Wilmington, the near-dock markets of Commerce and Vernon, and the big-box corridor from Ontario to Fontana and Rialto along I-10.

Transloading transfers freight between modes or equipment types: ocean container to 53-foot trailer, flatbed to dry van, or rail to truck. Importers use it to avoid container per-diem and get domestic equipment moving. Carriers use it when a load is overweight for one axle configuration or when a trailer fails. Brokers use it to recover and re-dispatch freight from a stranded carrier. The work needs a facility with the right doors, equipment and staffing, close enough to the freight to make sense.

What drives the cost

  • Floor-loaded versus palletized freight, since palletizing adds labor and materials
  • Weight and piece count
  • Equipment such as container chassis, forklifts, clamps or cranes for oversized freight
  • Staging time if outbound equipment is not ready
  • Port or rail proximity and after-hours gate access
