Drayage

Logistics play a crucial and integral role in the success of any project.

TTSI covers the harbor when you need us there, servicing all available gates, any day of the week. Our multiple campuses give us ample holding capability to store your containers and dray them at your convenience. We can also transload your import product and facilitate shipments inland.

We work with you, the customs broker, and the steamship line to expedite the clearing of your containers so they are delivered for immediate disposition. We use proven surveillance and tracking technology to provide real-time status updates of your freight while in transit and can update your systems through EDI and web transmissions.

TTSI Drayage Division is available to manage container movements at major port terminals throughout the United States. We stay a step ahead for our customers by being strategically located in close proximity of port terminals. TTSI provides local and regional drayage such as store door moves as well as border crossing.

In California, TTSI operates a totally clean fleet in the Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles, and San Diego. We are compliant with all CA Regulations and are exempt from the Port's Clean Truck Fees. In all other ports we meet the current environmental standards.

A story of a higher level of service

After the 2002 labor dispute at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, a major retailer was faced with a backlog of containers that they thought would take at least six (6) months to transport from the ports to their DCs for distribution.

TTSI took on this challenge and transported all the containers to their DCs within a two (2) month period. Our customer was ecstatic with the level of service we provided.
