LOS ANGELES TRANSLOADING AND DRAYAGE SERVICES
Streamlined Logistics with Expert Transloading and Drayage in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, together with Long Beach, forms the busiest port complex in North America. Efficient drayage—the short-haul trucking of containers to rail yards, warehouses, or distribution centers—keeps goods moving inland. Transloading—unloading containers into trucks or rail cars—helps importers quickly reconfigure and distribute cargo. By combining both, OLIMP ensures faster delivery, fewer handling steps, and less risk of supply chain delays.
Why Choose OLIMP in Los Angeles:
24/7 Availability: Around-the-clock service, including nights and weekends, to avoid port congestion and costly detention or demurrage fees.
Strategic Location: Our facilities are minutes from the Ports of LA and Long Beach, near I-110, I-710, and major rail ramps for faster turnarounds.
Asset-Based Fleet: We own our trucks, chassis, and equipment, ensuring reliable capacity year-round. Our fleet handles all container sizes and specialized loads, including overweight and hazmat.
Integrated 3PL Services: One-stop solutions—drayage, transloading, warehousing, and trucking—streamline operations and reduce vendor handoffs.
Cost Savings: Pre-pulling containers to nearby yards cuts chassis days, avoids per-diem fees, and supports long-haul or intermodal transfers to reduce overall transport costs.
Overweight Corridor Expertise: With permits and specialized equipment, we legally move heavy containers through Southern California’s overweight corridor—saving shippers from multiple lighter moves.

Transloading Services in Los Angeles
Transloading transfers cargo from ocean containers to other transport modes for the next stage of delivery. At our Los Angeles facilities, this process is designed for speed, efficiency, and cost savings.
Our transloading services include:
Container Unloading & Palletizing: Containers are unloaded immediately at nearby warehouses. Cargo is palletized and sorted on site, eliminating the need to haul ocean containers long distances and lowering labor costs.
Flexible Modal Transfers: Freight can be reloaded into 53′ trailers, railcars, flatbeds, or LTL shipments. Consolidating multiple 40′ containers into fewer truckloads or rail cars reduces empty miles and chassis fees.
Reduced Port Delays: By pulling containers directly into our facilities, we free chassis quickly and minimize costly demurrage or per-diem charges.
Customized Handling: We handle high-value, hazardous, and perishable goods with care, offering repackaging, labeling, and inspection for compliance and quality assurance.
Nationwide Network: Connected to a coast-to-coast 3PL network, we move your freight inland seamlessly, whether by truck or rail, under one integrated plan.
Los Angeles is widely known as the transloading capital of the U.S., and OLIMP helps businesses take full advantage. Our facilities’ proximity to the ports means faster unloading, reconfiguration, and delivery — reducing costs and getting products to market without delays.
