OLIMP TRANSLOADING & DRAYAGE — ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA (INLAND EMPIRE LOGISTICS HUB)

Efficient Tansloading and Drayage in Ontario, CA

Optimize your Southern California supply chain with OLIMP’s Ontario transloading and drayage services. Located in the heart of the Inland Empire with direct access to I-10, I-15 and SR-60 and close to Ontario International Airport (ONT), OLIMP moves containers and cargo quickly between ships, rail and trucks — reducing handling, cutting transit times, and lowering total logistics cost.

Why Ontario is strategic for transloading & drayage

Ontario is a logistics gateway for Southern California: it sits on the Inland Empire freeway grid and offers fast highway access to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (roughly a one-hour drive), major rail ramps, and Ontario International Airport for air freight. That connectivity lets OLIMP offer shorter drayage lanes and faster gate-to-customer transit compared with many inland locations.

What OLIMP offers in Ontario — Services & benefits

Container Transloading (door-to-door flexibility)

We unload containers, sort and consolidate SKUs, and reload to trucks or rail as required. Our transloading workflow reduces double-handling and gets goods moving faster to retailers, distributors, or final-mile carriers.


Drayage (reliable port-to-warehouse moves)

OLIMP manages short-haul drayage between ports/rail ramps and Ontario facility. Our routing focuses on minimizing chassis wait time and detention fees so your shipments remain cost-efficient.


Cross-docking & consolidation

Inbound loads can be quickly sorted and reloaded for same-day outbound moves — ideal for retailers and just-in-time inventory models. This cuts storage time and helps maintain lower inventory carrying costs.


Value-added handling & short-term storage

We provide palletizing, shrink-wrap, labelling, light kitting and short-term staging. When required, we safely store containers or drayage freight for temporary holding before final distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – OLIMP Warehousing

Q: What is transloading and when should I use it?
A:

Transloading transfers cargo between transportation modes (container → truck/rail). Use transloading when you need faster inland distribution, consolidation of LCL shipments, or to break down containers for regional routing to multiple destinations. It reduces double-handling and often lowers total transit costs compared with storing and reloading multiple times. (Keywords: what is transloading Ontario).

Q: How long does drayage from the Ports of LA/LB to Ontario take?
A:

Typical non-congested drayage runs from the ports to Ontario are roughly 45–75 minutes by road; actual times vary with traffic and port congestion. OLIMP plans drayage windows to minimize chassis and detention fees.

Q: Do you handle refrigerated containers and temperature-sensitive cargo?
A:

Yes — OLIMP offers temperature-controlled staging and access to connected cold-storage partners when the transload or delivery requires refrigeration. Confirm temperature windows when booking so we can reserve the correct handling resources.

Q: What are typical costs and what affects pricing?
A:

Pricing depends on container type, drayage distance, container dwell time, labor for transload operations (e.g., palletizing, repalletizing, shrink wrap), storage needs, and any special handling (reefer, hazmat). For accurate pricing, request a quote with shipment dimensions and timing.

Q: How do I schedule a transload or emergency re-route?
A:

Contact OLIMP’s Ontario operations team with the container number, ETA, and special handling notes. For urgent issues we offer expedited scheduling — OLIMP’s local drayage network helps get trucks dispatched quickly to avoid demurrage and detention fees.
